After a Swim is a funny, memorable tale that encourages children to recognise their less helpful habits and begin to overcome them.
A cat and a horse team up to cross a river and raid a farmer's field. There, they gorge themselves on delicious crops. Everything is going brilliantly! But then, the cat starts behaving badly, making a racket and upsetting the local villagers. Soon they band together to drive the animals away.
Can the horse get them back across the river to safety? Will the cat learn its lesson?
The late Afghan author, Idries Shah, published hundreds of Sufi teaching-stories drawn from the rich cultural heritage of Eastern lands, including his own home, Afghanistan. Fun and entertaining yet infused with wisdom, Shah's children's books enshrine stories which increase our understanding, flexibility, and breadth of vision.
'Shah's versatile and multilayered tales provoke fresh insight and creative thought in children.' Bookbird: A Journal of International Children's Literature
'These enchanting stories...have a richness and depth not often encountered in children's literature, and their effect on minds young and old can be almost magical.' Multicultural Perspectives: An Official Journal of the National Association for Multicultural Education (USA)
