Could not put this book down

This book is so well written that I could not put the book down. The tales from different sufis are great. You will learn the hidden meaning behind great stories like Liala Majnun and Shrin and Farhad. The only complaint that I have since the authors are from Iran, they claim that Maulana Rumi and Jami are Persian(Iranian). These two giants were born in Afghanistan ( Balkh and Herat) and afghanistan (formerly known as khurasan) speak in classical form of persian as they do now.
