Haroun and the Sea of Stories
Set in an exotic Eastern landscape peopled by magicians and fantastic talking animals, this classic children's novel inhabits the same imaginative space as *The Lord of the Rings*, *The Alchemist*, and *The Wizard of Oz*. In this captivating work of fantasy, 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.
