About the Book

(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) In a land where families pride themselves on the best way to prepare peaches, neighbors compete furiously to outdo one another to find the true essence of the fruit. Their ever-more-complicated extraction processes are so competitive and convoluted that the people completely fail to benefit from the actual peach. Even young children will see the foolishness of over-complication and competition illustrated in this delightful tale. This story is one of many teaching stories collected and adapted by the Afghan philosopher Idries Shah, who told them to his own children to promote thinking skills and impart wisdom. These unique tales have their roots in Central Asia and the Middle East. They are published now in beautifully illustrated editions, so as to appeal both to children in the lands in which they originated and to children in the West, the aim being to teach through humor and example, and to draw attention to our commonalties.


(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) In een land waar families trots zijn op de beste manier om perziken te bereiden, wedijveren buren heftig met elkaar om de ware essentie van de vrucht te vinden. Hun steeds ingewikkelder extractieprocessen zijn zo competitief en ingewikkeld dat ze volledig voorbijgaan aan de eigenlijke perzik. Zelfs jonge kinderen zullen de dwaasheid van overcomplicatie en concurrentie geïllustreerd zien in dit verrukkelijke verhaal. [Dit verhaal is een van de vele leerzame verhalen die de Afghaanse filosoof Idries Shah heft verzameld en bewerkt. Hij vertelde ze aan zijn eigen kinderen om het denkvermogen en wijsheid te bevorderen. Deze unieke verhalen vinden hun oorsprong in Centraal-Azië en het Midden-Oosten. Ze worden nu gepubliceerd, prachtig geïllustreerd, zodat ze zowel kinderen in de landen waar ze vandaan komen als kinderen in het westen aanspreken, met als doel te onderwijzen door middel van humor en voorbeelden en de aandacht te vestigen op onze gemeenschappelijkheden.
