Afghan Caravan

This book is a collection of all aspects of Afghan life. It includes travel stories, mythology and history, cooking, wisdom, jokes.... everything!Idries Shah is a brilliant writer, Afghanistan's most well known. But the collection also includes many works by his equally esteemed family members. I congratulate the work and effort that he and his family have done in keeping Afghanistan's culture and literature alive through this time of distress.

Excellent !

I found this book full of interesting, motivating, inspiring stories, that had me laughing one moment, and shedding tears the next. Being an Afghan in America and so caught up with daily distractions, this book reminds us all of what we should be so proud of, our beautiful country, which we might be far away from now, but is always close to our hearts. I finished the last page of the book and quickly turned back to the first page to reread the whole book again. I have probabaly read the book through 10 times and read one short story daily now.
