Haroun and the Sea of Stories
Overview & Summary
When storyteller Rashid Khalifa suddenly loses his gift of storytelling, his son Haroun embarks on a fantastical quest to the Sea of Stories itself -- a magical ocean containing every story ever told -- to restore his father's imagination, battling forces determined to poison and silence the flow of stories forever. Salman Rushdie's allegorical fantasy, written for his own son, is also widely read as a defense of free expression and the power of storytelling.
