Rich in cultural significance, each title in this bestselling
series includes a collection of 20 to 30 tales together with an
introduction and a historical overview that give the reader
compelling insights into the culture, the folk literature, and the
lives of the people in the region.
These 27 traditional folk stories were written down, shortly
before her death, by Jamal Sleem, who had recounted them to the
children of her extended family over many years. Authentically Arab
in their themes, yet timelessly universal, they are sometimes
magical, sometimes naturalistic, and combine a wealth of vivid
detail with elements of pathos and humor. Translated by family
members of various generations, then expertly edited, the book is a
precious store of the kind of tale endlessly cherished but in
danger of disappearing.
