Narrated by Sahar Mari and illustrated by Fatma Al Remaihi.

Patty Paine has shared an excerpt with us from the new book she co-edited (with Michael Hersrud and Jesse Ulmer): The Donkey Lady and Other Tales from the Arabian Gulf.

The book contains stories from across the Middle East that were collected and translated through a collaboration with Qatar University. The book was illustrated by art and design students from Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar and is on sale at the Mathaf gift shop and VCU-Q in hardcover for QR150 and softcover for QR130.
