Haroun and the Sea of Stories

Set in an exotic Eastern landscape peopled by magicians and fantastic talking animals, Salman Rushdie's classic children's novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories inhabits the same imaginative space as Gulliver's Travels, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wizard of Oz. In this captivating adaptation for the stage, Haroun sets out on an adventure to restore the poisoned source of the sea of stories. On the way, he encounters many foes, all intent on draining the sea of all its storytelling powers.

Salman Rushdie was born in Bombay in 1947. He is the author of four other novels, Grimus, Midnight's Children, Shame, and The Satanic Verses, and two works of nonfiction, The Jaguar Smile and Imaginary Homelands. His latest novel is The Moor's Last Sigh.
