First published in 2007. The tales contained in this collection are part of the oral traditions of the great Arab tribes of Southern Iraq. They have the authentic flavor of The Thousand and One Nights, and are alive with the same robustness as most Islamic popular legends- full of taste for heroic gesture, a voluptuous delight in scent and colour, and a broad, earthy humour. Charles Campbell captures the elusive cadences of style, flowing and elegant. This is an unusual volume with an appeal for all who like romance and adventure and who take pleasure in good stories, well told. John Buckland-Wright's delightful drawings capture the character and atmosphere of the people and the stories.
Charles G. Campbell, illustrated by John Buckland-Wright.
