These twenty tales have been drawn from famous legends concerning the former lives of the Buddha. Beloved by children and adults alike, they tell of people and animals moved to acts of sacrifice by the noble example of their fellow creatures. The flavor is often suggestive of Aesop, as are the lessons that are so subtly and keenly conveyed. Presented in a simplified narrative, the tales maintain the magical and timeless beauty of their Far Eastern origins. The stories are ideal for reading to children, as they tell of highly dramatic adventures that are resolved by non-violent and compassionate means. Challenging circumstances bring forth courage and the capacity to love, opening the way to solutions against seemingly impossible odds. This book will also be coveted for its exquisite illustrations by the well-known illustrator H. Willebeek Le Mair.

Noor (Noor-un-Nisa) Inayat Khan (1914-1944) is widely remembered as a hero and martyr of the Second World War. Some of those who honor her memory are aware that before the war she wrote stories for children. Until now, however, Noor's mystical drama "Aède of the Ocean and Land" has remained virtually unknown. A fantastical creation, "Aède" shines a revealing light on Noor's life and thought, reflecting her unique assimilation of the spiritual teachings of her father, Hazrat Inayat Khan. In "Aède," Noor combines elements of Greek myth, Sufi esotericism, and personal experience to produce a gripping and surprising retelling of the "Odyssey" of Homer. The protagonist wrestles with monsters, colloquizes with nymphs, and sails the Mediterranean in search of home. Will Ulys reattain domestic bliss in Ithaca or does another destiny await him?

Noor Inayat Khan, GC, (1914-1944) is remembered as an outstanding hero of the Second World War. She was also a folklorist and writer of considerable gifts. Dream Flowers collects her major works, and additionally includes a number of never-before-published pieces. The introduction elucidates the authors unique literary contribution to the elaboration of Sufism in the West. To know Noors mind and heart, there is no better place to turn than to her literary creations. Noors retellings of twenty j&#257;taka tales have remained in print for much of the last century, but other stories from her pen, and her singular mystical drama" Aède of the Ocean and Land", have only recently seen publication. Now, at last, it is possible to bring all of Noors principal works together under a single cover. The pages that follow present and contextualise the greater part of Noors oeuvre, including several hitherto unpublished pieces. The emerging picture reveals the visionary world of a cosmopolitan author whose constant concern is the life of the soul. Noors imagination ranges down the centuries and across the globe, illuminating a tableau of human, animal, and elfin lives together working out a destiny ordained in heaven. Throughout her incantatory wanderings, a seamless continuity links Noors ethical and spiritual vision with that of her father, the musician and mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan.
