The King without a Trade

Bilingual English-Arabic Edition

Illustrator: Marshall, Charlotte

Beschreibung

A king learns that a life of plenty doesn't make up for a lack of skills or common sense. Rather than the usual happily-ever-after story, this tale shows that taking the time to learn is better than being handed everything on a platter.

Autor

Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media - for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individual's experience and understanding.
