Nice story and good narative

A perfect collection of fantasy stories by Mir Amman. These stories takes the reader to another realm with unconventional practices. Not a good book for kids but for adult, it has lustful parts, Reader need to be careful enough not to understand fantasy story as part of religious activity. The beauty of the tales are, the journey, the ups and downs, it takes it's readers through.
