(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) Some 250 years ago, the Great King Ahmad Shah Durrani ruled Afghanistan and, from there, a magnificent empire extending from eastern Iran to northern India, and from the Amu Darya River to the Indian Ocean. Known to his people as Ahmad Shah Baba (Ahmad Shah, our father), the beloved king was an outstanding general and a just and wise ruler. But he was vexed with all kinds of problems that threatened his kingdom, and he realized he needed to find someone with the right qualities to help him. The big question was how to find such a person. Among other things, this story provides a framework through which young readers can consider and discuss the qualities one needs in order to live a useful and happy life. This intriguing legend is retold for young people by the Afghan storyteller and teacher Palwasha Bazger Salam, and is beautifully illustrated by artist Natasha Delmar. Additional pages include a biography of Ahmad Shah, a map of the Durrani Empire and suggested discussion points.


(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Tweehonderdvijftig jaar geleden heerste de grote koning Ahmad Shah Durrani over Afghanistan, en van daaruit over een prachtig rijk dat zich uitstrekte van Oost-Iran tot Noord-India, en van de Amu Darya tot de Indische Oceaan. Bij zijn volk bekend als Ahmad Shah Baba (Ahmad Shah, onze vader), was de koning geliefd bij zijn volk als een uitstekend generaal en een rechtvaardig en wijs heerser. Maar de koning was verontrust - allerlei problemen bedreigden zijn koninkrijk - en hij besefte dat hij minstens één persoon moest vinden met de nodige kwaliteiten om hem te helpen. Maar hoe vind je zo iemand? Dit verhaal biedt onder andere een kader waarbinnen jonge lezers kunnen nadenken en discussiëren over de kwaliteiten die iemand nodig heeft om een nuttig en gelukkig leven te leiden. Extra pagina's bevatten een biografie van Ahmad Shah, een kaart van het Durrani-rijk en suggesties voor discussiepunten.
