(Bilingual English-Pashto edition) This is the story of two brothers: one skilled in the practical arts and the other, Prince Tambal, considered by most people to be only a dreamer. Their father, the king, announces a competition to produce "interesting and useful devices." The entry produced by a woodcarver appears to be only a simple wooden horse of little value, but when Tambal looks more closely, he discovers that it's able to magically travel to whatever place is in its rider's mind. With the help of this magic horse, Tambal comes to learn a great many things and, eventually, to know his heart's desire. Julie Freeman's beautiful illustrations capture the magic of this tale, with the images and text inset in rich borders of oriental patterns. The Magic Horse is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. In the Sufi tradition, there is a continuum between the children's story, the entertainment or folklore story and the instructional or instrumental story. A story can help children deal with difficult situations and give them something to hold on to, but it can also stimulate a deeper understanding in adults. Through the instrumental function of this rich body of material, readers of all ages can learn to develop the capacity to be more flexible and to understand many more things about themselves and about life.

Shah, Idries: - Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia and publishing them in book form. The eleven tales he wrote especially for children are published by Hoopoe as beautifully illustrated books, all of which have been commended by Western educators and psychologists, the Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes and a positive representation of important but often misunderstood cultures, showing how much we have in common and what we can learn from each other. They acknowledge a child's individuality and uniqueness and encourage a sense of confidence, responsibility and purpose. ليکوال/ رسام ژوند ليک ادريس شاه ادريس شاه خپل ډېر ژوند له منځني ختيځ او مرکزي آسيا له شفاهي او ليکلو زيرمو څخه د کلاسيکو صوفي کيسو پر راغونډولو او هغوی د کتاب په شکل کې پر چاپولو تير کړ. يوولس کيسې چې هغې په ځانګړي ډول ماشومانو لپاره ليکلې د هوپو لخوا د ښکلي رسامي کتابونو په څېر چاپ شوي، چې پر ټولو يې غربي ښوونکو او ارواپوهانو، کانګريس کتابتون، ملي عامه راډيو او نورو ميډيا ادارو د دې کيسو ځانګړيو مشخصاتو چې په ماشومانو او مشرانو کې يو ډول د ټولنيزه/ احساساتي، فکري او نظري پرمختګ سبب ګرځي، تبصرې کړي دي. دا کيسې چې له سلګونو کلونو راهيسې بيانيږي، د کلتورونو نړيوال او مهم اړخونه له مثبت پیغام سره بيانوي چې عموماً غلط فکر شوي وي، او ښيي موږ څومره شريک اساسات لرو او له يو بل زده کولای شو. دا کيسې د ماشوم انفراديت او ځانګړيوالی پيژني او د باور، مسؤليت او هدف احساس هڅوي.
