Enjoy a story from our young friend of the Aga Khan Museum, Armaan, as he shares a story from the book, Two Crafty Jackals by Elizabeth Baird with illustrations by Sadiqi Beg.
These lovely stories, all wrapped up in one another so that sometimes one begins before the last has ended, tell the tale of Dimnah, a crafty jackal who sets out to get the better of the mighty King of Lions, and Dimnah’s brother, Kalilah, who tries to stop him from making too many mistakes.
This book was commissioned by the Aga Khan Museum and published in 2014.
