Almost everyone has heard of this phenomenal poet and this publication is among the best I have read. Beautifully illustrated, the writings of Rumi resonate down through the centuries and are still so relevant. I loved this book and will definitely buy it to keep. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this beautiful publication.
