Wise jinnis and magical animals guide people down the proper path. Nine traditional tales are brought to life by author Jehanne Moharram and the delightful illustrations of artist Chaymaa Sobhy. The stories reflect the rich culture and traditions of a diverse region and offer windows onto many wondrous worlds. These include:. Morgana Saves the Day.
