This fascinating book presents 28 traditional Arabic tales in parallel English and Arabic versions on facing pages with charming black & white illustrations. The stories include:

  • The Blue-Eyed Yamamah: A legendary blue-eyed woman has the amazing ability to predict the future and the problems that come with it!
  • Layla and the Wolf: A little girl faces grave danger and learns the true importance of family.
  • The Judge and the Talking Tree: A greedy man who, through the advice of a wise judge, learns to appreciate what he has and not take friendship for granted.
  • This Is Life: A man learns through experience that what is good for him might not be good for his neighbour.
  • And many more interesting tales from the Arabic-speaking world!

Each story is accompanied by a vocabulary list, cultural notes, and exercises to help beginning students. The stories increase in length and complexity as the book progresses and free online audio recordings of the Arabic and English versions are available online.
