AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Ali is a magician. Life in Ali's own country becomes dangerous so he travels to a new land that he thinks will be safer. There, he is locked up in a place surrounded by wire as sharp as a tiger's teeth. Ali entertains the others in the camp with his magic. Everyone is amazed. One evening Ali is left alone in the grounds. He looks up at the tiger's teeth wire and wails. Can Ali's magic bring him a better life?' (Publisher's blurb)
