In Adl's illustrations, Nasruddin has a long white cottony beard and wears a turban. Her use of electric-bright colors (orange, green, yellow, blue) exemplifies Nasruddin's eccentricity, while photocollaged textures add further interest...These tales, full of jokes and wisdom, demonstrate why the wise fool is a perennially appealing character.
