Tales From Rumi - Jalaluddin Rumi

This book is like little drops of water from the ocean that is the Mathnavi. The Masnavi is known as the 'Qur'an in Persian' not because the author seeks to equate it with the Qur'an but because it expounds the Qur'an. Although the Masnavi is a children's book, the stories have directness and clarity which are a delight to the young, and which will prove the treasure-chest of instruction in later life.
