The author Idries Shah wrote many books like this, mainly based around his knowledge of the Sufi religion. Idries Shah was born in India in 1924. He died in 1996. Idries Shah grew up in England. In 1960, he established his own publishing house, Octagon Press. He published works of his own through this medium as well as the works of other authors. The book is a most interesting blend of short and longer fables and it also includes a few proverbs such as this one: "A hand and a foot do not clap together". This is a great collection of oriental wisdom displayed in these writings, even including some poems, and the book is easily read from just selecting a passage at random.
