    About this ebook

    ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 227
    In this 227th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, you get a 60 page dual-story bumper edition!
    Here Baba Indaba narrates the story of the Wicked Half-Brothers which also includes the story of The Princess of Deryabar.

    Long, long ago and far, far away in the city of Harran there once lived a King who had every happiness which life and fortune could bestow save that he lacked an heir. He continually invoked on these unions the blessing of Heaven, still he remained childless; for which cause all his joy was turned to affliction, and his wealth and power and magnificence became as of no account.

    Then, one night as he slept there appeared before him an old man of venerable appearance who addressed, saying these words, "The prayer of the faithful among fifty has been heard. Arise, therefore and, go into the gardens of your palace and cause the gardener to bring you a pomegranate fully ripe. Eat as many of the seeds as you desire children, and your wish shall be fulfilled."

    Immediately upon awaking the King remembered the dream, and going down into the gardens of the palace he took fifty pomegranate seeds, and counting them one by one, ate them all. In due course according to the promise of his dream, each of his wives gave birth to a son all about the same time. To this, however, there was an exception, for one, whose name was Pirouzè, the fairest and the most honourably born, she alone showed no sign of that which was expected of her. The King's anger kindled against her because in her alone the promise of his dream was not fulfilled.

    The King exiles her back to her own people to remain in banishment until the will of Heaven declares itself. Pirouzè is returned back to her own country, to the court of the Prince of Samaria; and there she remains.

    But did she remain there forever or did events occur which overturned her banishment? You are invited to download the story here and find out what happened to Pirouzè, the Princess of Deryabar?

    Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories".
    Each issue in the Baba Indaba Children’s Stories series has a "WHERE IN THE WORLD - LOOK IT UP" section, where young readers are challenged to look up a place on a map somewhere in the world. The place, town or city is relevant to the story. HINT - use Google maps.
    It is our hope that in looking up these place names using Google Maps, that young people will be able to see the images and read about other peoples and cultures from around the world. Through this, it is also our hope that young people will not only increase their understanding of world geography, but also increase their understanding and tolerance of other people and their cultures.

    10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities.

      An Introduction to Baba Indaba

      Baba Indaba, pronounced Baaba Indaaba, lived in Africa a long-long time ago. Indeed, this story was first told by Baba Indaba to the British settlers over 250 years ago in a place on the South East Coast of Africa called Zululand, which is now in a country now called South Africa.

      In turn the British settlers wrote these stories down and they were brought back to England on sailing ships. From England they were in turn spread to all corners of the old British Empire, and then to the world.

      In olden times the Zulu’s did not have computers, or iPhones, or paper, or even pens and pencils. So, someone was assigned to be the Wenxoxi Indaba (Wensosi Indaaba) – the Storyteller. It was his, or her, job to memorise all the tribe’s history, stories and folklore, which had been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. So, from the time he was a young boy, Baba Indaba had been apprenticed to the tribe’s Wenxoxi Indaba to learn the stories. Every day the Wenxoxi Indaba would narrate the stories and Baba Indaba would have to recite the story back to the Wenxoxi Indaba, word for word. In this manner he learned the stories of the Zulu nation.

      In time the Wenxoxi Indaba grew old and when he could no longer see or hear, Baba Indaba became the next in a long line of Wenxoxi Indabas. So fond were the children
