The Bedside Tales of Sultan

Book excerpt: The Bedside Tales of Sultan is a collection of fairy tales, fantasies and moral stories that appeals to children and adults alike. The book unfolds through the story of a young Sultan who develops a sleeping disorder and finds salvation listening to fairy tales in order to ease his loneliness and boredom. Along the lines of the Arabian Nights, every night we listen to a different story which transports us to a new realm. We meet with people from the royal court - sultans, viziers, judges; people who possess magical powers - magicians, sorcerers, and ordinary people - bakers, gardeners, merchants, shoemakers, tutors. We listen to tales of walking clouds, talking fingers, migrating watermelons and fighting letters. Every story is different but they all have one thing in common; they are bedside tales, life lessons that invigorate our imagination. www.bedsidetalesofsultan.com
