Neem The Half-Boy
Sufi Tales Series
Idries Shah (Q)
This is a charming folk tale of a boy who is only half a boy and needs to discover what it takes to become a complete person.
The Queen of Hich-Hich gives birth to a half-boy, because she fails to follow the precise instructions given to her by Arif the Wise Man. How this happens and how Neem, the half-boy, becomes whole is a story that has been told and retold, by campfire and candlelight, to children all over Afghanistan, Centrla Asia and the Middle East.
Full of interesting suggested or symbolic meanings and at the same time a terrific story in itself for children who might appreciate fairy tale-type stories.
Quality illustrations in full colour.
