About this ebook
Azin and his nomadic family rely upon the Moonflowers to keep them alive. When his elders are taken ill, young Azin is left to guide the bees to these rare flowers and return with their precious honey, but he is not the only one seeking out their magic…
The fifth in a series of six illustrated folk tales for children which explore the supernatural world, inspired by ancient folk tales and a love of nature. Be ready to feel a little bit of magic, and perhaps a few shivers down the spine.
Written by Nicola Davies and illustrated by Max Low.
‘Davies’ prose perfectly captures the volatility of the natural world and human emotion, and the scale of the desert and Azin’s sense of solitude within it is beautiful conveyed through Low’s vivid illustrations.’ Children’s Books Ireland Recommended Reads 2019-20
‘It is always a pleasure to see an obscure tale given a new life through adaptation and the latest offering in the Shadows and Light series is no exception. Azin, the youngest i a family of nomadic beekeepers, undertakes an arduous journey to save his family, accompanied only by his bees. It proves to be a journey of self-discovery as Azin learns about true and self-sacrifice. Low’s bold, stark illustrations are a highlight, effectively converting both the arid desert environment and Azin’s isolation within it.’ Inis Reading Guide 2018-19
