The Misadventures of the Mystifying Nasrudin - Nasrudin

The first book in Tahir Shah's trilogy of Nasrudin stories, The Misadventures of the Mystifying Nasrudin builds on his highly acclaimed travelogue - Travels With Nasrudin. Having been raised in a household in which the wise fool of Oriental folklore was regarded both as an honorary member of the family, and as a problem solver par excellence, Shah was encouraged from an early age to regard the world around him through the lens of Nasrudin's humour. This collection of hilarious original stories - charting the globetrotting travels of Nasrudin from Seattle to Samarkand, and from Cairo to Bangkok - turns the world inside out and upside down.
