Well known for his groundbreaking books on Morocco, including The Caliph’s House, In Arabian Nights, and Casablanca Blues, Tahir Shah is no stranger to describing the Kingdom.

In this extraordinary collection of treatises on a wide range of subjects, Shah considers Morocco’s extraordinary traditions, cultural heritage, and role as a crossroads between north and south, west and east.

Poignant, thoughtful, and at times very funny, his reflections depict a land where nothing is ever quite what it seems... a realm whose future is sure to outshine the greatest heights of its dazzling past.
