A children's novel set in a two-room schoolhouse in mid-20th century Iran, this story about the daily misadventures and experiences of the village children and their beloved schoolmaster, Mr. Samadi will warm your heart. Through this nostalgic portrayal of the daily hardship and human drama of rural life so many years ago, Houshang Moradi Kermani's memorable characters provide an inspiring look at provincial life in a quintessential Iranian village where survival means that members of a community must learn to work together to achieve a common goal.


The Water Urn Reviews


  • Megan Geissler

    Cute story about village life in Iran with some messages about gossip, community and compromise. The editing is pretty awful and the errors can be distracting.
