Haroun's father is Rashid, the Shah of Blah. The greatest of all storytellers, Rashid conjures up magical worlds and brings laughter to the sad city of Alifbay. Then, one terrible day, everything goes wrong. Haroun's mother leaves home and his father runs out of stories to tell. Haroun is determined to return the storyteller's gift to his father. He flies on the back of the Hoopoe bird to the Sea of Stories. And so begins a fabulous quest across strange lands and encounters with bizarre creatures - a world as dazzling as any of Rashid's stories. Paul Birkbeck's breathtaking and exquisitely detailed artwork is the perfect accompaniment to Salman Rushdie's vivid and powerful story.
'Haroun and the Sea Stories will be a children's classic.'
