The Ghoul (Arabic Children's Book)

The Brave lad Hassan decides to face the scary Ghoul that has struck fear in people's hearts for many many years. Will Hasan succeed in his dangerous mission? Will he be able to liberate his people from the nightmare of fear that has defined their lives for so long. n Arabic folklore the Ghoul is usually depicted as a fearsome merciless creature that eats people up. A long time ago, stories about the ghoul were told to children on winter nights around a fire. They stimulated their imagination and put a face to their innermost fears acting as a catharsis of sorts. Sadly some parents quickly took the easy way and utilized the fear of the Ghoul to make their children behave saying to their kids: "If you do not behave then the ghoul will come and gobble you up."etc..thus giving the Ghoul a bad reputation as a mythical figure for writers to utilize in children literature. Until this day we find that many teachers and parents refuse to pick up a book about the Ghoul for their children thinking that it must be just a book
