Synopsis
Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a 1990 children's book by Salman Rushdie. It was Rushdie's first novel after The Satanic Verses. It is a phantasmagorical story set in a city so old and ruinous that it has forgotten its name. Haroun and the Sea of Stories is an allegory for several problems existing in society today, especially in India and the Indian subcontinent. It looks at these problems from the viewpoint of the young protagonist Haroun.
Reviews
A cute and light-hearted whimsical fantasy adventure. Haroun and his father journey to the Earth's second moon which they must save from the evil Khattam-Shud.
