The Caravanserai Stories: Wellspring


Originally presented in exquisite handmade limited editions, Tahir Shah's eight Caravanserai Stories are now made available in a beautiful small hardback format. 
 
Inspired by work published a century ago by Tahir's grandfather, the writer and savant The Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah, the eight stories form part of an ancient heritage of 'Teaching Stories'.
 
Such tales have been used for centuries across the East – told and retold in teahouses and in caravanserais, aboard dhows crossing the seas, and in palaces alike – as a way of solving problems and of passing on ideas from one generation to the next.
