Tales of Ab d’El Azar

Description

Tales of Abd’ el Azar is a fictional account of stories of magic, love and derring-do brought back to 17th century England by Thomas Swain, a merchant adventurer of Bristol who shared a cell with the aged storyteller Abd’ el Azar in Mosul, a city in present day Iraq. The Tales take us to Mesopotamia, to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina and even to China, and, in the majority of cases, love and virtue triumph over warfare, cruelty and corruption. But let Abd’ el Azar tell you his stories himself. There are people of goodwill in every nation and civilization – if even now we know what that word means – spread to us in the West from these very lands in the Middle-East.
