Seven short stories written in the manner of the ancient European or Oriental stories and legends, in which the author explores and blows up the borders of wonderland. Seven stories about love, either lost or found: the princess that fell in love with a coalman, the Baghdad barber who loved beautiful Halima, Charlemagne and Iphigenia, the incredulous love of a warrior for the woman with the little hair bun, the story of the clever lady of the Sultanate of El Katar… Written with emotion and wisdom, in the manner of Scheherazade in Arabian Nights.
