The Iblis, the Girl, the Sultan and the Lion’s Tail
Elham Rokni
2018
The book The Iblis, the Girl, the Sultan and the Lion's Tail includes 18 folk tales in four languages: Hebrew, English, Arabic and Tigrinya. Rokni collected the stories from asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan who live in Israel these days and included in her book drawings that respond to these stories. The stories were archived by the Israel Folktale Archives (IFA) at the University of Haifa, which collects, documents, preserves and researches oral folk narratives that are passed down in new and old communities, from all ethnic backgrounds in Israel.
