|
When young Haroun's mother elopes with a dull clerical drone, his father, famed storyteller Rashid, the Shah of Blah, loses the gift of gab. To restore his father's gift and mend his broken heart, Haroun embarks on a mystical journey to the source of stories. There, the Master of Silence launches his plan to destroy the world's stories, and it is up to Haroun to stop the destruction. This adventure into strange new lands — a dream world of water genies and rhyming guppies, where chatter and silence battle for control — excites the imagination in this riveting celebration of storytelling.
