The Conference of the Birds ~ Hardback ~ Peter Sis

Peter Sis's deeply felt adaptation tells the story of a flock of birds who fly through seven valleys - quest, love, understanding, friendship, unity, amazement and death - to discover which one of them should be crowned king. When they find the legendary Simorgh, the true king, they finally find the answer, in this inspirational story of love, faith and the meaning of it all. Based on the 12th century Persian epic poem by Farid Attar, this retelling stays true to the elegance and beauty of the original work.
