First sentence: I doubt whether you could have told just by looking at Allee that he had a black imp in his head.
Description: Chosen for young people by a committee including Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, as an outstanding publication for older readers. Written in 1946, this is a wonderful look into Arab village life in the city of Kariwan, Tunisia, as its inhabitants prepare for a visit by His Higness, the Mushir Mohammed es Sadoc Pasha Bey. Two young cousins, Allee and Breeka, find their talents and revel in the joy of discovery. A beautifully illustrated and detailed look inside Muslim culture.
