The Boy Without A Name
Sufi Tales Series
Idries Shah (Q)
This is a charming folk tale. A Sufi teaching tale of a boy without a name who visits a wise man and acquires both a name and a wonderful dream.
A small boy seeks and eventually finds his own name and is able to discard an old dream for a new and wonderful one.
This is one of a series of illustrated books for the young written by Idries Shah, whose collection of narratives and teaching stories have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. It belongs to a tradition of storytelling from the Middle East and Central Asia that is more than a thousand years old. Among the many insights that this story introduces to children is the idea that it takes patience and resolve to achieve one's goals in life.
