Raves and Reviews
"This collection of Sudanese folk tales, as compelling and imaginative as The 1001 Arabian Nights, will entrance readers. The stories bring the culture and customs of Sudan to life. Ali Lufti Abdallah heard these tales- featuring talking animals, buried treasure, evil spirits called Rhools, beautiful maidens and brave, handsome young men who carry out heroic deeds to save themselves and their families from often gruesome ends- when he was growing up in a town on the White Nile. Each tale offers a 'lesson' at the end that will encourage even the youngest readers to keep turning the pages. Western readers will have fun discovering the parallels between these stories and folktales they already know."
