Synopsis

The ancient trade route between East and West provides the location and inspiration for this exotic collection of tales. The Spirit of the Silk Road acts as a guide, and with him readers follow the path of the caravans of the silk traders, listening to his tales of goddesses and spirits, dragons and demons. This lavish anthology is sumptuously illustrated with Nilesh Mistry's glowing colours, which perfectly capture the spirit of the tales. Cherry Gilchrist has herself travelled along the Silk Road, and the authority and realism she brings to the stories makes the book a fascinating reference book as well as a beautiful gift for all ages.
