Title: Holy fool stories
Review: Wisdom of the Idiots is a collection of "holy fool" stories from the Sufi tradition where the holy fool is not Mulla Nasrudin - an important distinction only because of Idries Shah's Mulla Nasrudin stories which are better known.These stories in general are more developed than the Mulla Nasrudin stories as they do not play off a known "holy fool" character but must set their context within the story itself. The result is a wider range of tales and a more frequent "teaching" context.If you enjoy religious teaching stories, this collection is well worth picking up.
