About the Book

The Last Storytellers: Tales from the Heart of Morocco is a poignant and vital collection that captures the fading magic of Marrakech’s ancient oral tradition. For nearly a thousand years, the legendary Jemaa el-Fna square has been the stage for hlaykia (storytellers) who recounted fables of magic, morality, and adventure to rapt audiences. However, in the face of modern distractions, this unique heritage is on the brink of extinction.

Author and BBC journalist Richard Hamilton spent years tracking down the few remaining masters of this craft. In this book, he preserves their voices for posterity, offering readers a treasure trove of thirty-six enchanting tales. From “The Gazelle with the Golden Horns” to “The Sultan and the Thief,” these stories transport you directly to the bustling medina of Marrakech, revealing the rich cultural tapestry of the Maghreb. Whether you are a lover of folklore, a student of Moroccan history, or simply a traveler at heart, this book is an essential addition to your library.
