Saluki: Hound of the Bedouin Hardcover – September 23, 2005

This is a children's book. So: nice but very basic. Nowhere was I informed about this, so for me a bit of a unfortunate purchase.

Kids loved it.

As a saluki owner/breeder for 30 plus years I found this book utterly delighful and very easily read.Yes it is a young persons book, but as a saluki person I loved the folk lore and history explained in the story.Congratulations

This narrative about a "saluki" bedu hound is an excellent entree into traditional desert life, and illustrations help make the story come alive. Reveals that despite Muslims' usual aversion towards pets in the house, there is provision for "working animals" like salukis to dwell with humans.

ベドゥインの男の子が初めて自分のサルーキーを手にし、サルーキーと共に成長してゆくお話。豪華なアラビアン・ナイトとは違った、素朴な遊牧民の日常を通してサルーキーが原産国でどのように暮らしていたかを感じ取ることができる。優しいタッチのイラストながら、しっかりとサルーキーのアバラ骨が描かれているところがあなどれない。

Not what I expected.

Just the loveliest book. Excellent capture of a way of life.
