Stressing ethical values, intellect and love, the great Islamic mystic Rumi offers refreshing solutions to souls locked in the difficulties of modern moral complexity. The Mesnevi is one of the great classics of Islamic literature. It has been translated into many Western languages and has been received with enthusiasm by readers of all walks of life. Time Magazine has called Rumi the best-selling poet in the U.S. The ten books of the Tales From Rumi series have been edited for children in order to introduce them to this wonderful literary treasure so they too can appreciate its content.
