When the Sun Forgot to Rise by Tahir Shah

When the Sun Forgot to Rise by Tahir Shah

This is the story of a little girl called Floria, who lives in the Arctic Circle with her mother and father, and her brothers and sisters. Each winter, they crowd around in their little wooden house and listen to an epic story - The Tale of Elypsia.

Tradition holds that, when the great saga ends, the winter darkness will come to a close as the first light of spring breaks over the horizon.

But this particular year, the sun didn't rise when the last words of the epic were spoken.

Floria sets off into the darkness to find out what's happening. Pitting herself against uncertainty and the elements, she uses her imagination to wake the sleeping sun.

For both children and adults, When the Sun Forgot to Rise is a tale in the genre of teaching stories, told by our ancestors since ancient times.

Its author, Tahir Shah, is widely regarded as one of the most original writers and storytellers of our age.

Richard Halliburton (1900-1939) was America's great adventurer and one of the most successful adventure travel writers of the 20th century. His final adventure, sailing a junk across the Pacific, was also his last. Halliburton disappeared in March 1939 and was never seen again. His wild adventures live on in the books that have captivated millions of readers and inspired generations of writers.
