About the Book

About this book From mischievous goats to magical fish, The Donkey Lady and Other Tales from the Arabian Gulf offers readers a diverse and delightful collection of illustrated folk tales from the Middle East. The book represents the culmination of a collaborative project that sought to collect, preserve and re-present traditional folk tales. The tales were collected by students at Qatar University, and were illustrated by art and design students at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar. The collection bridges past and present through illustrations that engage the imaginations of contemporary readers while also presenting a variety of fascinating tales that enliven local histories. The Donkey Lady and Other Tales from the Gulf preserves regional culture while also serving as an introduction to the visual arts for young audiences. These timeless and beautifully rendered tales are of interest to readers of all ages, and are especially relevant to those interested in folk tales and lore, as well as graphic and children's literature.
