About this ebook
In a sad city, the saddest of cities, a city so ruinously sad that it had forgotten its name, lived a professional storyteller named Rashid and his son Haroun.' Thus begins Rushdie's magical and delightful book, which is comprised of hundreds of stories, funny and sad, all of them juggled at once, together with sorcery and love, wicked uncles and fat aunts, and mustachioed gangsters in yellow check pants.

For sheer playful thinking and a crazy storyline, read it yourself. For high engagement, read it to a kid aged 5-12.

This is the book my mother would read to my sisters and myself before bed. Repeatedly. We loved this book, and I still do.

What a wonderful story! I read it first in middle school and now as an adult i continue to enjoy it repeatedly. The alliterations alone are a joy to read!!
