A stunningly beautiful and fascinating fairy tale. As we slowly progress through the story of Bab'aziz, we meet unusual and interesting characters whose lives intersect, seemingly at the whim of the storyteller. In this desert landscape, blind men journey without direction, wandering bands of musicians head toward "the gathering," humans become animals only to change back to humans and soul-seekers are made insane by their quests. I was simply in love with the granddaughter.Though she and her grandfather never say, "I love you" to one another, you can see it in their touch, their trust and their eyes. Thoroughly enjoyable.
