RICH ILLUSTRATIONS OF LONG AGO BAGHDAD

An adaptation of a Middle Eastern folk legend, The Enchanted Storks relates the story of a wicked vizier who dupes the Calif into buying snuff boxes that turn the Calif and others into storks. Who or what will it take to release them from this spell? A great joy to be found in this book is in the illustrations, intricately rich they bespeak a Baghdad of long ago.
