Description

Idries Shah's World Tales Book II explores the intriguing phenomenon of stories that transcend time and geography. How do tales like Aladdin's wondrous lamp find their way from Wales to ancient Eastern cultures? What accounts for their enduring presence in our collective heritage?

The author, who spent thirty-five years studying the written and oral sources of world tales, identifies a common thread among these stories. He reveals that certain tales have traveled farthest, featured in numerous classical collections, and inspired great writers across centuries.
