Afghan Caravan

Afghan Caravan is a rich cornucopia of information from Afghanistan, ranging from folklore to traditions, from famous Afghan culinary and herbal recipes to proverbs, national tales, and even to tips on how to choose the right Afghan carpet. Many important aspects of Afghan history are considered, including the British Empire’s disastrous forays into the country a century and a half ago. With the renewed interest in Afghanistan, Safia Shah’s book acts as an invaluable reference source on all matters Afghan, making good the wide gaps of public knowledge.
