Saluki, Hound of the Bedouin (paperback)
|
| |
This captivating tale recounts the mutual devotion of the young Bedoun boy Hamad and his Saluki hound, as the former journeys to adulthood. Julia Johnson has done much to keep alive the stories of the Bedouin and their way of life and to bring them to a younger readership in Arabia and throughout the world.
Children between the ages of 6 and 11 will delight in this tale of life in the desert - a life of hunting and herding, of hardship and its rewards, of the hazards of death and of the bond between human and beast. All lovers of the Saluki will take pleasure in this tribute to a noble breed, offered here to a new generation. |
