World Tales
Author: Idries Shah
Publisher: Octagon Press Ltd
ISBN: 0863040365
Category : Folklore
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
No ordinary collection of tales, this anthology was the result of extensive research that led Shah to conclude that there is a certain basic fund of human fictions which recur again and again throughout the world and never seem to lose their compelling attraction. This special paperback version of World Tales concentrates on the essentials, the text of the stories, and omits the illustrations which were part of a previous edition.
