Saluki: Hound of the Bedouin Hardcover – September 23, 2005

Kids loved it.

This narrative about a "saluki" bedu hound is an excellent entree into traditional desert life, and illustrations help make the story come alive. Reveals that despite Muslims' usual aversion towards pets in the house, there is provision for "working animals" like salukis to dwell with humans.

This is a children's book. So: nice but very basic. Nowhere was I informed about this, so for me a bit of a unfortunate purchase.

As a saluki owner/breeder for 30 plus years I found this book utterly delighful and very easily read.Yes it is a young persons book, but as a saluki person I loved the folk lore and history explained in the story.Congratulations
