This story is inspired by the History of the Prophets and Kings of Al-Tabari. It describes the arrival of the Arabs at the border of China and the negotiations that allowed the commander of the Arab forces and the Emperor of China to avoid going to war. The bold illustrations are inspired by Persian miniatures. This is a small book that helps the reader discover, through fiction, a little known period of Arab history.
