Purple and Silk

Book 2 of the Lebanese Heritage series, by Youmna Jazzar Medlej and myself. We started these books in 2004 to fill a much-needed but neglected niche: quality books about Lebanon for younger readers, both carefully researched and attractively illustrated. Although image-based, all the books are checked and corrected by authorities on their respective subject. They are available in French, English and Arabic in major Lebanese bookshops and at Souq el-Tayeb.
