by Salman Rushdie, Paul Birkbeck (Illustrator)Immediately forget any preconceptions you may have about Salman Rushdie and the controversy that has swirled around his million-dollar head. You should instead know that he is one of the best contemporary writers of fables and parables, from any culture. Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a delightful tale about a storyteller who loses his skill and a struggle against mysterious forces attempting to block the seas of inspiration from which all stories are derived.

I can't get over how hilarious this book was. It was discretely extremely intelligent in a way that if you have a lot of random knowledge in your head, you will appreciate how cleverly funny it is. However, I'm sure there were loads of little tidbits I missed and still found it immensely enjoyable, so dive in!
