Publisher's Synopsis
On his way from Tangiers to China, the medieval Moorish traveller Ibn Battuta arrives in Konya, Turkey, where the legendary dervish Rumi had lived, danced and died. More than half a century may have passed since his death, but his poetry remains alive, inscribed in every stone and tree and pathway. Rumi's followers entrust Battuta with a manuscript of his life stories to spread word of the mystic on his travels. As he reads and recites the tales, his listeners discover their own lives reflected in these stories - fate has bound them, and perhaps you, to Rumi.
