This book sounds delightful! The reviews make it sound like it is
based on an Iraqi tale. I hope this is the case. I collect
international fairytales, I think I may add this to my collection.

There do seem to be a number of folktale archetypes, it seems that
cinerella tales-goodness in the face of advesity will be rewarded-may
be one of them.
Thanks for sharing!!
