  These tales were collected in the tribal areas of the Pakistan – Afghan border, a region once described as ‘the last free place on earth’, where the caravan routes from Persia, India and China once converged.

With a blend of wit, fantasy, comedy and romance, the tales reflect the Pashtun code of honour and way of life, now seriously threatened by social change and political upheaval.
