When the villagers hear of a huge and mysterious creature that has come all the way from India, they steal into the dark barn to find out what it is.It's like a snake says one. It's like a tree trunk, says another. No, it's like a fan argues the third. Who is right? Which of them knows the creature's true shape?Mina Javaherbin's charming and witty retelling combined with Eugene Yelchin's refreshingly brilliant illustrations bring this enlightened classic, inspired by Rumi's poem, vividly to life.
