(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) 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.

(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) De koningin van Hich-Hich volgt de instructies van Arif de Wijze Man niet op en baart daardoor een half jongetje. Dit verhaal vertelt hoe Neem door slimheid, onderhandelen en compromissen sluiten een hele jongen wordt. Dit verhaal helpt kinderen creatief te leren denken door flexibiliteit en doorzettingsvermogen, terwijl het hen ook vermaakt en verrukt. Dit verhaal is een van de vele honderden soefiverhalen die Idries Shah heeft verzameld uit mondelinge en schriftelijke bronnen in Centraal-Azie en het Midden-Oosten en die hier worden gepresenteerd als een van de vele geillustreerde kinderboeken. Meer dan duizend jaar lang heeft dit verhaal jonge mensen vermaakt en hen geholpen hun vooronderstellingen te onderzoeken en zelf na te denken.
