Publisher's Summary

Discover Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Salman Rushdie's classic fantasy novel.

Set in an exotic eastern landscape peopled by magicians and fantastic talking animals, Salman Rushdie's classic children's novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories inhabits the same imaginative space as The Lord of the Rings, The Alchemist, and The Wizard of Oz. In this captivating work of fantasy from the author of Midnight's Children and The Enchantress of Florence, Haroun sets out on an adventure to restore the poisoned source of the sea of stories. On the way he encounters many foes, all intent on draining the sea of all its storytelling powers.

Outstanding in every way

If Dr. Seuss had written a book for older children it would have had this rhythmic, lyrical mastery. Rushdie’s word choice makes use of sound in a playful way. The book is always fun and entertaining. It also incorporates depth psychology. His profound wisdom about the shadow is beautifully accessible. It includes great characters, politics, the nature of consciousness, and it sparkles with imagination. In short, it’s magical!! The audible performance is also fantastic. This book is one children and adults will both love to hear again and again.
