Some were Jewish, some were Muslim, but foremost among them was his own mother. Drama and mystery, magic and miracles, women of incomparable beauty and men of immeasurable heroism the young boy was spellbound by these tales, which stay with him to this very day. An excerpt, from"Seven Calves and a Sister: He finally reached the door of his house, but suddenly she stood in the doorframe facing him as a woman in inviting silence, blocking the entrance to the house with her body. Her sculpted arms rested on the two doorposts, while her hands, decorated with henna, beckoned him to her lap. Abu Ghanim paused, pursing his lips tightly, determinedly gazing at his feet, not daring to look up at her face. This is an excerpt from one of four enchanting tales to be discovered in Spring of Wonder, a journey to an era and place beyond time and space which the reader will never forget.
