(Bilingual English-French edition / Edition bilingue anglais-francais) Wanting badly to have a son, the Queen of Hich-Hich consults Arif the Wise Man on the matter. But because she fails to follow his precise instructions, she gives birth to a half-boy, whom she calls Neem. That Neem is able to make himself complete by an act of cleverness, negotiation and compromise teaches children much more than the expected, usual lesson of bravery. This enchanting tale, complete with fairies and a fire-breathing dragon, is marvelously and magically illustrated by Midori Mori and Robert Revels. Neem the Half-Boy is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves.

Voulant vraiment avoir un fils, la reine de Hich-Hich consulte Arif le Sage a ce sujet. Mais faute de suivre ses instructions precises, elle donne naissance a un demi-garcon, qu'elle appelle Niim. Que Niim soit capable de se completer par un acte d'intelligence, de negociation et de compromis enseigne aux enfants beaucoup plus que la lecon de bravoure attendue et habituelle. Ce conte enchanteur, avec des fees et un dragon cracheur de feu, est merveilleusement et magiquement illustre par Midori Mori et Robert Revels. Niim le demi-garcon fait partie d'une serie illustree d'histoires-enseignement soufies du Moyen-Orient et d'Asie centrale qui ont ete rassemblees et adaptees pour les enfants par Idries Shah, et qui ont captive les coeurs et les esprits pendant plus de mille ans. Les histoires sont concues pour aider les enfants a apprendre a examiner leurs hypotheses et a penser par eux-memes.
