Two books in one! Nasrudin is an international folk hero of medieval origin but timeless appeal. His role changes, sometimes he is the fool, sometimes the sage; he is courtier, beggar, physician, judge or teacher - he is indefinable therefore indestructable. Whether his anecdotes are studied for their hidden wisdom or enjoyed for their exhilarating humour, they will remain an incomparable and enduring delight.

"Nasrudin's anecdotes are parallel to the mind's working, designed to amuse the tea-house, but also for use on other levels." The Observer

"A rare gift - healing laughter." New Society
