About this title

Synopsis

ZORO AND THE WITCH is the second story for children in the illustrated series, HIMALAYAN TALES.

As a child in Gilgit-Baltistan in the Himalayas, Rashid Naeem was told many exciting and uplifting stories by his parents. These stories had been passed from parent to child over many generations, without ever having been written down.

The stories are magical, with witches, talking birds and animals. They introduce great dramas where good confronts evil. Eventually conflicts are resolved and this leads to a happy and contented life. The stories carry an uplifting theme of how we must care for others, especially those who are downtrodden by life.

Rashid has edited these stories and translated them from Shina (the Gilgit language). Rashid wishes to thank his parents, relatives and friends for their great help in collecting the stories.

The illustrations for Zoro have been done by Shahid Ali Qasim, an artist who lives in Gilgit-Baltistan, close to the Pakistan/China border.

Other stories in the HIMALAYAN TALES series: -

Sparrow, The Proud Hen, The Clever Donkey, Lady Moon, The Bad King, The Good King, The Wild Goat, Pilti and Polti, Daisy and her Father.
