Overview

(Bilingual English-French edition / Edition bilingue anglais-fran?ais) Wanting badly to have a son, the Queen of Hich-Hich consults Arif the Wise Man on the matter. But because she fails to follow his precise instructions, she gives birth to a half-boy, whom she calls Neem. That Neem is able to make himself complete by an act of cleverness, negotiation and compromise teaches children much more than the expected, usual lesson of bravery. This enchanting tale, complete with fairies and a fire-breathing dragon, is marvelously and magically illustrated by Midori Mori and Robert Revels. Neem the Half-Boy is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves.

Voulant vraiment avoir un fils, la reine de Hich-Hich consulte Arif le Sage ? ce sujet. Mais faute de suivre ses instructions pr?cises, elle donne naissance ? un demi-gar?on, qu’elle appelle Niim. Que Niim soit capable de se compl?ter par un acte d’intelligence, de n?gociation et de compromis enseigne aux enfants beaucoup plus que la le?on de bravoure attendue et habituelle. Ce conte enchanteur, avec des f?es et un dragon cracheur de feu, est merveilleusement et magiquement illustr? par Midori Mori et Robert Revels. Niim le demi-gar?on fait partie d’une s?rie illustr?e d’histoires-enseignement soufies du Moyen-Orient et d’Asie centrale qui ont ?t? rassembl?es et adapt?es pour les enfants par Idries Shah, et qui ont captiv? les coeurs et les esprits pendant plus de mille ans. Les histoires sont con?ues pour aider les enfants ? apprendre ? examiner leurs hypoth?ses et ? penser par eux-m?mes.
