Fatima is a young woman whose life seems beset by one disaster after another. Setting forth on a journey from her home in the West, she is shipwrecked and cast ashore alone near Alexandria. Adopted by a family of weavers, and beginning to prosper in her new life, she is captured and made to work making masts. Undertaking a journey to sell the masts, her ship is wrecked off the coast of China. It is only here that Fatima finally realizes that what seemed to be disasters were really essential steps towards realizing her eventual fulfillment. A story of wisdom and depth, ideal as a bedtime story, it helps children understand the need for perseverance to reach their goals.
This Teaching-Story is well known in Greek folklore, but this version is attributed to the Sheikh Mohamed Jamaludin of Adrianople (modern-day Edirne in Turkey) who died in 1750.
This book is filled with wonderful illustrations by Natasha Delmar. Taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching, she captures Fatima's adventures with a wealth of detail and color. Using Middle Eastern and Chinese design , Delmar transports readers into the exotic worlds of Fatima's travels, in a way delightful to both young and old.

Fatima est une jeune fille dont la vie semble n'être qu'une mésaventure après l'autre. Au cours d'un long voyage vers l'ouest, son bateau sombre et elle s'échoue sur une plage près d'Alexandrie. Elle est adoptée par une famille de tisserands et commence à gagner sa vie lorsqu'elle est capturée et forcée à construire des mâts de bateaux. Elle part vendre ses mâts mais son bateau s'échoue près des cotes chinoises. Ce n'est que là que Fatima va comprendre que tous ces désastres étaient en fait des étapes indispensables pour arriver à son bonheur. Une profonde histoire de sagesse qui se raconte le soir avant de dormir. Elle aide les enfants à comprendre qu'il faut persévérer pour atteindre son but.
Cette histoire-enseignement est bien connue dans le folklore grec, mais cette version est attribuée au cheikh Mohamed Jamaluddin d'Adrianople (actuel Edirne, en Turquie), mort en 1750.
Natasha Delmar est l'auteur des magnifiques illustrations qui parcourent le livre. Élève de son père, le célèbre peintre classique chinois Ng Yi-Ching, elle a su capturer les aventures de Fatima avec une abondance de détails et de couleurs. Elle utilise des motifs du Moyen-Orient et de Chine, et transporte le lecteur dans les mondes exotiques où se rend Fatima. Elle enchantera les petits et les grands.

About the Author:
Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia and publishing them in book form. The eleven tales he wrote especially for children are published by Hoopoe as beautifully illustrated books, all of which have been commended by Western educators and psychologists, the Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes and a positive representation of important but often misunderstood cultures, showing how much we have in common and what we can learn from each other. They acknowledge a child's individuality and uniqueness and encourage a sense of confidence, responsibility and purpose. Idries Shah a passé une grande partie de sa vie à rassembler, pour les publier, des récits classiques soufis et des histoires-enseignement tirées de sources orales et écrites du Moyen-Orient et d'Asie centrale. Les 11 contes qu'il a écrits pour la jeunesse sont édités par Hoopoe. Ce sont des livres magnifiquement illustrés qui sont recommandés par les enseignants et les psychologues en Occident, par la Bibliothèque du Congrès, par NPR (National Public Radio, radio nationale américaine) et d'autres médias, de par leur capacité unique à développer la réflexion et la perception chez les enfants comme chez les adultes. Racontées depuis des siècles, ces histoires expriment des thèmes universels et donnent une représentation positive de cultures importantes mais souvent incomprises, et montrent combien nous avons en commun et ce que nous pouvons apprendre les uns des autres. Elles reconnaissent l'enfant dans son caractère individuel et unique, et encouragent l'esprit de confiance, de responsabilité et de détermination.
