It’s Story Time: The Adventures of the Slothful Slough-Off Saman Shamsie This series of imaginatively written stories caters mainly to readers of 5–14 years. It is a unique project for Pakistani children in that all the stories have been written by competent Pakistani writers, writing in English. Each story has an environment familiar to Pakistani children and takes into account the sensitivities of the region. It is hoped therefore that the stories will inspire their readers to write confidently in English. -
