{"product_id":"the-storyteller-of-damascus-9781623719715","title":"The Storyteller of Damascus","description":"An authentic taste of the old Damascene tradition of storytelling that will inspire children's imagination. An old storyteller roams through the old quarter of Damascus. For only one piaster, he offers to show the children the wonders of the world. The children look through the peepholes of his magic box, which he carries on his back from one neighborhood to the next. There they see and hear the love story of Sami, the shepherd boy, and the beautiful Leyla. But over time, the story changes... pictures inside the wonder box become old and start to fade away, replaced by cutouts from recent advertisements. A stunningly-illustrated children's book filled with love, intrigue, courage, loyalty, and the sounds and smells of old Damascus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crocodile Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623719715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2018 pg. 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rafik Schami","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43378385780917,"sku":"9781623719715","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_79a30d1a-4527-4504-a9a4-9110acf22771.jpg?v=1701753268","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-storyteller-of-damascus-9781623719715","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
