![]() ![]() ![]() Rushdie’s quirky characters mix with the sense of India (though one of initials and valleys) to create something completely removed from reality to form a place of pure storytelling pleasure. Rather than being a lone child’s adventure Haroun has an unexpected family member around him. ![]() Haroun’s father is the greatest of all storytellers but one day something goes wrong and all his stories dry up, something that Haroun feels is his fault but he gets the chance to visit the Sea of Stories and to restore his father’s story tap.Īnd it’s as bizarre as that, unlike Valente which resists the modern, Rushdie includes machines and mechanisms that ground his imaginative world. To be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to this one as I didn’t know how Rushdie would handle telling a children’s story and I was totally surprised how wonderful it was. ![]()
