Damascus Nights is a magical book that celebrates the power of storytelling. Set in present-day Damascus, Salim the coachman, the city's most famous storyteller, is mysteriously struck dumb. To break the spell, seven friends gather for seven nights to present Salim with seven wondrous "gifts"-seven stories of their own design. Damascus Nights is a sly and graceful work, and a delight to readers young and old.
