The ancient trade route between East and West provides the inspiration for this exotic collection of tales. Sumptuously illustrated with Nilesh Mistry's glowing colours, this lavish anthology follows the Spirit of the Silk Road as he guides readers along the path of silk traders' caravans. Cherry Gilchrist has herself travelled along the Silk Road, and the realism she brings to the stories makes this book a valuable reference as well as a beautiful gift.
