| When, during the autumn of 1943, John Bowen took over the administration of a remote area of the old North-west Frontier Province of India, he could not know that his friendship with an Afridi of noble birth, Mohammad Zarif Khan, would enable him to look through what seemed a magic keyhole into the enchanted world of Pushtu story-telling. The ten stories that Bowen has retold, as far as possible in Zarif Khan's own words, give a vivid picture of the way the Pathans, who dwell in the arid mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan, conduct their austere and at times astonishingly exciting lives.
