"Ashavan, an orphaned stable boy disparaged by his peers because of his deformed leg, gets into a midnight brawl to save a dying dog. This impulsive act snowballs into an alarming chain of events as he fights to clear his name of charges of sorcery cast upon him by a vindictive man and a fearful community. As the story unfolds, we see how Zarathushtra, a boy who befriends him, gives him the courage to resolve the fears within himself and take a stand for what he believes. The book vividly portrays the era of superstition and irrationality that pervaded ancient Iran four millennia ago!" It also has the wonderful illustrations by Homi Meherhomji.
