(Bilingual English-Ukrainian edition) This is the story of two brothers: one skilled in the practical arts and the other, Prince Tambal, considered by most people to be only a dreamer. Their father, the king, announces a competition to produce "interesting and useful devices." The entry produced by a woodcarver appears to be only a simple wooden horse of little value, but when Tambal looks more closely, he discovers that it's able to magically travel to whatever place is in its rider's mind. With the help of this magic horse, Tambal comes to learn a great many things and, eventually, to know his heart's desire. Julie Freeman's beautiful illustrations capture the magic of this tale, with the images and text inset in rich borders of oriental patterns. The Magic Horse is one of an illustrated series of Sufi teaching stories from the Middle East and Central Asia that were collected and adapted for children by Idries Shah, and that have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. In the Sufi tradition, there is a continuum between the children's story, the entertainment or folklore story and the instructional or instrumental story. A story can help children deal with difficult situations and give them something to hold on to, but it can also stimulate a deeper understanding in adults. Through the instrumental function of this rich body of material, readers of all ages can learn to develop the capacity to be more flexible and to understand many more things about themselves and about life.
(ЧАРІВНИЙ КІНЬ) Це казка про двох королів та їхні долі. Принц Хошіяр здобуває почесті і статки, наглядаючи за будівництвом величезних металевих риб, які виконують дивовижні завдання і приносять багатство людям його землі. Його брата, принца Тамбала, цікавить лише дерев'яний кінь, якого він отримує від скромного столяра. Але кінь цей чарівний. Він несе вершника до бажання його серця. Одного разу принц Тамбал зникає на чарівному коні. Він довгий час у від'їзді і переживає багато захоплюючих пригод, перш ніж зустрічає кохання всього свого життя і повертається додому. Це одне з багатьох традиційних суфійських оповідань, зібраних автором і педагогом Ідрісом Шахом. Ці казки не лише розважальні, вони також роззвивають навички мислення та сприйняття як у дітей, так і у дорослих, а також допомагають усім нам краще зрозуміти себе, свій вибір, мотивацію та можливості, та й саме життя. Історія Чарівний кінь була вперше опублікована Ідрісом Шахом у 1968 році у його збірці Караван мрій.
