For centuries, caravans of camels have travelled Turkey's Silk Roads piled high with exotic cargoes from India, Arabia and China. When a poor stonecutter called Salahaddin makes a miraculous find, he sets off on a perilous journey along the Silk Road to Istanbul and resorts to telling stories to stay alive. Brimming with scents, sounds and sinister merchants, this rich hoard of stories ' including 'The Prince,' 'The Nightingale and the Silent Princess,' 'All for a Wrinkled Pomegranate,' and 'The Salt and The Golden Watermelons' ' is stylishly illustrated by Paul Hess and makes a sparkling introduction to a land still steeped in mystery.
