(3 reviews)
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.

It’s been a long since since I had a book draw so beautiful images in my head, making a whole animation movie while reading it. This book is full of wonders, tales and magic, it makes you dream again like a child and makes me want to read it to my god-daughter to let her discover this magnificent tale of Haroun. And makes me want to go on a journey on the ocean of stories...
