About the author
Tahir Shah was born into a prominent Anglo-Afghan family in 1966. He has devoted his life to searching for the hidden underbelly of lands through which he travels, and the realms on which he writes. He has published more than 60 books, with editions in thirty languages. In 2004, he moved with his young family to a ramshackle mansion in the middle of a sprawling Moroccan shantytown, and set about renovating the property, and exorcising the legions of wayward Jinns. Shah, who is regarded as a preeminent expert on folklore, established The Scheherazade Foundation, which strives to bridge cultures and to harness the knowledge locked in traditional tales the world over. He lives at his home, Dar Khalifa, in Casablanca. To find out more, visit: tahirshah.com
