Goha the Wise Fool In Stock Now

From the Publisher:
Meet Goha, that funny little man with the faithful donkey, whose tales, beloved for their wit and wisdom, have been passed down through the streets of the smallest villages of the Middle East for centuries. Meet Goha, who in making us laugh at him, shows us—young and old everywhere— that we can laugh at ourselves.

Collected by one of the Middle East's most prestigious translators and illustrated in whimsical handsewn khimeyas, this is a joyful celebration of the best of Goha, one of folklore's most unexpected and beloved heroes.

Goha, a character in Middle Eastern folklore, imparts wisdom, tricks fools, and exposes human foibles in fifteen amusing stories. The tales are beautifully illustrated with khiyamiyas, traditional Egyptian embroideries.
