Lord of the Rings, The Alchemist, The Arabian Nights,and The Wizard of Oz.

on draining the sea of all its storytelling powers.
In this wondrously delightful story, a captivating fantasy novel for readers of all ages, Salman Rushdie gives us an imaginative work of extraordinary power and endearing humor that is, at its
heart, an illumination of the necessity of storytelling in our lives.
