Illustrator Jeff Jackson creates a lively and amusing world, rich in color and expression, in which anything can happen. This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East.

Paperback. Condition: Good. The Magic Horse is the story of two brothers, one skilled in the practical arts, and the other, Prince Tambal, considered by most people to be only a dreamer. Their father, the King, announces a competition to produce interesting and useful devices - the entry produced by a woodcarver appears to be only a simple wooden horse - apparently of little value. But, when Prince Tambal looks more closely, he discovers that the horse is able to magically transport its rider to whatever place is in the rider's mind. In this way, Prince Tambal comes to learn a great many things, and eventually comes to know his heart's desire. This book is one of a series of illustrated Teaching-Stories by Idries Shah, stories which have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. In the Sufi tradition there is a continuum between the children's story, the entertainment or folklore story, and the instructional or instrumental story. A story can help children deal with difficult situations and give them something to hold on to. It can, at the same time, stimulate a deeper understanding in adults. جادويي آس د دوو ورونو کيسه ده، يو په عملی فنونو کې ماهر دی، او بل، شهزاده تنبل چې ډېر خلکو خوب ليدونکی باله د هغوی پلار، باچا، د په زړه پوری او کاريدونکي وسيلو جوړولو سيالي اعلانوي، د ترکاڼ لخوا جوړه شوې وسيله ساده لرګين آس ښکاري، چې بې ارزښته بريښي خو، کله چې شهزاده تنبل يې په دقت سره ګوري، نو پوهيږي چې آس کولای شي خپل سوار هر هغه ځای ته ورسوي چې د ده په زړه کې دی لدې لاری، شهزاده تنبل، ډېر څه زده کوي او پای کې د خپل زړه پر آرمان پوهيږي دا کتاب د ادریس شاه رسامي شوو تعليمي کيسو لړۍ څخه ي&#.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The story of The Farmer's Wife tells how a woman first loses an apple in a hole in the ground, and then attempts a series of efforts to get it back.

The strikingly beautiful illustrations by Rose Mary Santiago invoke the origins of the story -- this traditional story has been told for hundreds of years in the Middle East and Central Asia -- while at the same time lending a uniquely playful atmosphere to this very amusing story. د بزګر ښځې کيسه ښيي چې څرنګه يوه ښځه د زمکې په يوه سوړه کې مڼه له لاسه ورکوي او د هڅو يوه لړئ پيلوي چې مڼه بيرته ترلاسه کړي د ماشومانو خوښيږي چې له ذهنه په هماغه ترتيب کيسه وکړي، او کله چې کيسه د تمو خلاف له ناڅاپي پيچ (تاو) سره مخ شي، نو هغوی يو مهم درس زده کوي چې څرنګه ستونزې مبتکرې حل کړي د روز ماري سانټياګو ښکلي رسامي اصل کيسه -- دا رواجي کيسه له سلګونو کلونو راهيسې په منځني ختيځ او مرکزي آسيا کې بيان شوی -- راژوندئ کوي، بلکه په عين وخت کې دې په زړه پورې کيسې ته ساعتيری چاپيريال ورکو&#1610..
