5.0 out of 5 stars
A fine tale to keep on the shelf,
By Antonio Cacciolla (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan (Paperback)
A wonderful rollicking adventure that takes you back to a time of innocence in terms of pre air travel and international blandnes, homoginization and cell phones. Where an adventure meant not knowing what was around the next corner instead of googling google earth to see what's there just in case. The butcher son is clear and clean and I enjoyed most was the mid volume tale of the 'Story of the Baked Head'. I have the Random House edition of 1937 with it wonderful colour illustrations (somewhat art deco to my eye) and in text line drawings. A wonderful tale to read to youngish readers if you are not of the politically correct lineage. Enjoy and expand.

Haji Baba,

This review is from: The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan (Paperback)
I read someone ele's copy years ago. It was so entralling, I could not put it down until I finished it.As someone who has himself spent years in the Middle East, and even married into the culture, I find Morier's accounting of Haji Baba completely credible. In fact, except for the time, and places, many of Haji Baba's adventures closely parallel my own. This book is worth having in one's library as a classic. |
