Paperback. Condition: Good. Fatima's life is beset with what seem to be disasters. Her journey leads her from Morocco to the Mediterranean, Egypt, Turkey and, finally, to China. It is in China that she realizes that what seemed at the time to be really unfortunate events were an integral part of her eventual fulfillment. This Teaching-Story is well known in Greek folklore, but this version is attributed to Sheikh Mohamed Jamaludin of Adrianople (modern-day Edirne) in Turkey who died in 1750. It was first published by Idries Shah in 1967 in his classic work, Tales of the Dervishes, Teaching-Stories of the Sufi Masters over the past thousand years. This book is filled with wonderful illustrations by Natasha Delmar. Taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching, she captures Fatima's adventures with a wealth of detail and color. Using Middle Eastern and Chinese design, Delmar transports readers into the exotic worlds of Fatima's travels, in a way delightful to both young and old. Delmar, Natasha (illustrator).…

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..
