For fans of I Dissent and She Persisted -- and Jane Austen fans of all ages -- a picture book biography about the beloved and enduring writer and how she found her unique voice. Witty and mischievous Jane Austen grew up in a house overflowing with words. As a young girl, she delighted in making her family laugh with tales that poked fun at the popular novels of her time, stories that featured fragile ladies and ridiculous plots. Before long, Jane was writing her own stories-uproariously funny ones, using all the details of her life in a country village as inspiration. In times of joy, Jane's words burst from her pen. But after facing sorrow and loss, she wondered if she'd ever write again. Jane realized her writing would not be truly her own until she found her unique voice. She didn't know it then, but that voice would go on to capture readers' hearts and minds for generations to come.

When a boy visits another village, he is amazed to find the townspeople terrified of something that -- just because they have not seen it before -- they mistake for a terrible, dangerous animal. With his own knowledge and by demonstration, the boy helps them overcome their fears. This story is part of an oral tradition from the Middle East and Central Asia that is more than a thousand years old. In an entertaining way, it introduces children to an interesting aspect of human behavior and so enables them to recognize it in their daily life. One of many tales from the body of Sufi literature collected by Idries Shah, the tale is presented here as part of his series of books for young readers. This is the second book of the series illustrated by Rose Mary Santiago, following the award-winning best-seller, The Farmer's Wife. کله چې هلک بل کلي ته چکر له ځي، هلته له حيرانتيا سره ويني چې خلک له يو څه ويريږي - يوازې لدې کبله چې پخوا يې نه وو لیدلی - د یوه بد خطرناک داړونکي ځناور ګمان پرې کوي. د خپلې پوهی او ښودنی په مرسته هغه له هغوی سره د خپلې ويرې په له منځه وړلو کې مرسته کوي. دا کيسه د منځني ختيځ او مرکزي آسيا د شفاهي کلتور برخه ده چې له زرګونو کلونو راهيسې بيانيږي. په ساعتيره طريقه، دا ماشومان د انساني سلوک له په زړه پوری اړخ سره بلدوي او پوهوي يې چې په خپل ورځني ژوند کې يې وپيژني. د صوفي ادبياتو له ډېرو کيسو څخه يوه چې ادريس شاه راغونډه کړی، او د هغې د ځوانو لوستونکو لپاره د دې لړئ برخه ده.
