(Bilingual English-Pashto edition) In this amusing story, an old woman encounters an eagle for the first time. Perplexed by its unfamiliar appearance, she decides to change it to suit her own ideas of what a bird should look like. Her efforts mirror a common pattern of human thought: altering the unfamiliar to make it acceptable. This tale is specially presented for children by Afghan author Idries Shah, who, for more than 30 years, collected stories from the Sufi tradition and adapted them to contemporary Western culture. Told since ancient times throughout Central Asia and the Middle East, such tales are used to help foster greater mental flexibility and insight in people of all ages. The Old Woman and the Eagle is wonderfully illustrated by Natasha Delmar, who was taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching.

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.
