Join Shonaleigh for a two day Tellers, Tales, Tradition event.
Listen to an extended version of ‘The Sapphire Staff’, with space to talk and and discuss themes raised by the story.
An ancient warlord is looking for three objects that will give him possession of all the kingdoms of the world: the Sapphire Staff that can make the waters of the world part; a Snakeskin Cloak that smells of the apples of the Garden of Eden; and the Book Of All Things which contains the song of the sun and the thoughts of the rain.
Only two can stop him… a young man whose Grandfather was cursed to be half eagle half man… and a young woman who holds the last secret of Eve’s three beautiful daughters.
The Cycle of Menasseh, to which the Sapphire Staff belongs, originated around 1600 in the region of Apeldoorn. This cycle contains hundreds of stories belonging to Jewish heritage in the Netherlands that have not been told in the Netherlands for many years.
