(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) Fatima is a young woman whose life seems beset by one disaster after another. Setting forth on a journey from her home in the West, she is shipwrecked and cast ashore alone near Alexandria, Egypt. Adopted by a local family of weavers, and beginning to prosper in her new life, she is captured and forced to work making masts for ships. While undertaking a journey to sell the masts, she finds herself shipwrecked once again - this time off the coast of China, where she finally realizes that what seemed to be disasters were really essential steps toward her eventual fulfillment. Full of wisdom and depth, and ideal as a bedtime story, Fatima's tale helps children understand the need for perseverance to reach their goals. This traditional teaching story is well known in Greek folklore, but the present version is attributed to Sheikh Mohamed Jamaludin of Adrianople (modern-day Edirne in Turkey), who died in 1750. Fatima the Spinner and the Tent is filled with wonderful illustrations by Natasha Delmar, who was taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching. Delmar captures Fatima's adventures with a wealth of detail and color and, using Middle Eastern and Chinese design, transports readers to the exotic lands of Fatima's travels in a way delightful to both young and old.
(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Het leven van Fatima lijkt geteisterd door de ene ramp na de andere. Als ze op reis gaat vanuit haar huis in het westen, lijdt ze schipbreuk en wordt ze alleen aan land gezet in de buurt van Alexandrië. Ze wordt geadopteerd door een familie van wevers en begint zich te ontwikkelen in haar nieuwe leven, maar wordt gevangen genomen en tewerkgesteld bij het maken van masten. Tijdens een reis om de masten te verkopen, lijdt haar schip schipbreuk voor de kust van China. Pas hier realiseert Fatima zich eindelijk dat wat rampen leken, eigenlijk essentiële stappen waren op weg naar haar uiteindelijke vervulling. Een verhaal van wijsheid en diepgang, ideaal als verhaaltje voor het slapen gaan, het helpt kinderen begrijpen dat doorzettingsvermogen nodig is om hun doelen te bereiken.
