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.

Review of 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

When I was a kid I really liked fantasy stories with certain kind of wonders in them. I loved Michael Ende's The Neverending Story, I binged on wonder-centered folk tales, and reread Wilhelm Hauff's collection dozens of times. Something in the Haroun and the Sea of Stories reminds me exactly that - the feeling of awe and adventure, being engulfed in a brand new, yet somehow deeply familiar fantasy world. And I enjoyed it very much.
