(Bilingual English-Dutch 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.
(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Dit is een verhaal over twee prinsen en hun lotsbestemming. Prins Hoshyar verwerft rang en fortuin door toezicht te houden op de bouw van enorme metalen vissen die wonderbaarlijke taken verrichten en rijkdom brengen aan de mensen van zijn land. Zijn broer, prins Tambal, is alleen geïnteresseerd in een houten paard dat hij van een eenvoudige timmerman heeft gekregen. Maar het paard is een magisch paard. Het voert de ruiter, als hij oprecht is, naar zijn hartenwens. Op een dag verdwijnt prins Tambal op het magische paard. Hij is lange tijd weg en beleeft vele spannende avonturen voordat hij zijn hartenwens verwerft en naar huis kan terugkeren. Dit is een van de vele traditionele verhalen verzameld door de auteur en opvoeder Idries Shah. Deze verhalen zijn niet alleen vermakelijk, ze stimuleren ook het denkvermogen en de waarneming bij zowel kinderen als volwassenen, en helpen ons allemaal meer te begrijpen van onszelf, onze keuzes, motivaties en opties, en van het leven.
