Description
‘These stories from the Old Silk Road between India and China became the stock-in-trade of itinerant storytellers, who journeyed with the caravans in both directions. They would entertain the travellers by re-telling tales of this kind around the campfires in the desert wilderness or in the caravanserais. Apart from the traditional mix of a hero’s exploits and of wondrous events, these stories display an extraordinary degree of warmth and humour. It is to be hoped that the reader will derive as much pleasure and gentle instruction from these stories as the writer did when finding them and re-telling them to others’. – Eric Cheetham
