In a sad city, the saddest cities, a city so ruinously sad that it has forgotten it's name, a proffessinal storyteller named Rashid lives with his son Haroun. Rashid is the Shah of Blah with oceans of notions and the Gift of the Gab. Ask the Shah of Blah for a story and you won't get any old story. Nor will you get just one. You'll get hundreds of stories, funny and sad stories, all of them juggled at once, complete with bits of socery and bits of love, princess, wicked uncles and fat aunts, many more. But one day things---many things----go terribly wrong. Rashid is left by his wife. Then, when Rashid opens his mouth, no story comes out: only a horrid barking sound. The Shah of Blah has lost his Gift of the Gab because, unknown to him something very bad had occurred: somewhere, somehow, the wellspring of all stories is slowly being contaminated. Khattam~Shud---the Prince of silence and the foe of Speech----has secretly set out pollute the very Sea of Stories itself.All Rights Reserved
