(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) A young fox's ingenuity and perseverance enable it to escape from a clever trap set by a man. This engaging story can inspire children to face challenges directly and to overcome obstacles in their path - and even to make use of those obstacles to solve problems. Adapted for children by Idries Shah, it is one of hundreds of Sufi developmental tales he collected from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East. Sally Mallam's illustrations provide delightful and imaginative depictions of the characters. For more than a millennium, the story of the man and the fox has entertained young people and helped foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. (Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Een man laat een jonge vos geloven dat hij hem een kip zal geven. De vos zit in de val, maar door vindingrijkheid en doorzettingsvermogen ontsnapt hij. Het lezen van dit verhaal inspireert kinderen om uitdagingen direct aan te gaan, en zelfs om de obstakels op hun pad te gebruiken om problemen op te lossen. Dit verhaal behoort tot de rijke en oude verteltraditie van Centraal-Azië en het Midden-Oosten. Hier herverteld door de auteur en pedagoog Idries Shah, maakt het deel uit van een reeks geïllustreerde boeken voor de jeugd. Deze verhalen zijn bedoeld om het denkvermogen en de waarneming te bevorderen. Op een onderhoudende manier laten de verhalen kinderen kennismaken met interessante aspecten van menselijk gedrag en helpen ze hen deze patronen in het dagelijks leven te leren herkennen.
Autorenporträt
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.
