Translated by Michel Moushabeck.
Illustrated by
Peter Knorr.
Translated by Hiltrud Schulz and Michel Moushabeck. A grown-up narrator looks back on his childhood in Damascus and the frequent visits from an old storyteller, who carried a wonder chest full of magical pictures on his back. The old man's stories evolve as, over time, his magical pictures disappeared and were replaced with advertisements from magazines. Evocative illustrations of the stories and Damascus city scenes enhance this nostalgic (German-import) picture book for older children.
