LUKA AND THE FIRE OF LIFE

A glittering, magical fable, the follow-up to "Haroun & The Sea Of Stories", written as a present for Rushdie's second son on his 12th birthday. It is a classic quest story, lyrical, rich with word-play as you would expect. On a beautiful starry night in the city of Kahani, 12-year old Luka's storyteller father falls into a deep sleep and cannot be roused. Luka must embark on a journey through the Magic World, encountering obstacles along the way, to steal the Fire of Life and save his father.
