description: Of all the Persian poets, Mevlana Jalal-e-Din Mohammad Mevlavi Balkhi Rumi (1207-1273 CE) is the most popular and widely read in North America. Rumi's spirituality is expressed in his poetry, most notably the Mathnavi, a poem which is quite long in its unabridged form, and the Divan of Shams Tabrizi. These poems contain what we now consider classic Sufi symbolism, such as the reference of the love of God being like intoxicating wine. In fact, Rumi is credited with founding the Mevlavi order of Sufis, better known in the West as the "Whirling Dervishes." In these books, some of Rumi's most popular fables from the Mathnavi are re-told in a style suitable for a young audience. Complete with delightful illustrations, these books provide valuable life lessons and serve as a great introduction to the timeless wisdom of this Sufi mystic.Collection 4 features the following fables (entirely in Persian, or Farsi): Tadbeere Kudkane; Padesha va Dalqak; Shekare Azhdaha; Bazargane Mehraban; Qooche Safeed; Marde Dabagh va Bazarre Atr Forooshan.
