Gorgeous Collector's Edition. Many medieval writers, especially
from France and Wales, wrote stories about the great British
leader, King Arthur. Legends, folklore and myths from this period
come together to paint a picture of who he was with some describing
him as a great warrior, defending Britain from its enemies, while
others suggest Arthur had magical qualities. Throughout this
mystery, King Arthur has become an iconic figure, known for his
court and knights and his chivalric adventures. This collection
offers a selection of myths, featuring Arthur's knights of the
round table, his love for Queen Guinevere and of course the
ultimate betrayal by his most trusted knight, Sir Lancelot. Flame
Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative
fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative
literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the
best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking
and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and
a Glossary of Terms.

Rumi's great book of wisdom-infused poetry contain myriad lessons
on the importance of faith, with the culture and lessons of
spiritual, Biblical and Islamic teachings featuring strongly. In
authoring his masterwork, Rumi quoted the Qu'ran, the Bible and
several spiritual forebears. Wishing to align his poetry in order
to tell tales of man and man's place in the world, Rumi drew upon a
variety of religious and spiritual sources to create a poetic
compendium of supreme profundity and depth. The Masnavi was praised
as one of the finest works of mystical literature ever seen. It is
in the Masnavi that Persia's place between the spiritual cultures
of Asia and the Middle East is evidenced. Rumi himself, while
undoubtedly an Islamic scholar of great ability, did not feel
confined to the faith; he saw spiritual value in a range of
disciplines, and asserted that the light of Mohammed's prophecy
does not leave faithful Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians or other
denominations behind.
"Portrait of a Dalai Lama" is the story of one of Tibet's greatest

historical portrait of a pivotal era in Asian and world affairs.
