In this, his first book, Timur Shah draws on his fascination for world folklore, infusing its pages with an extraordinary array of traditions and opinions, as well as his own adventures.

A helter-skelter journey quite unlike any other, An Ordered Experience sashays through both ancient myths and personal essays devoted to current life and self-criticism.

By examining mythologies from contrasting cultures and epochs - and by searching out their commonalities - Shah presents them to the reader, balancing each against his own experiences, anxieties and dreams.

A kaleidoscope of time and place, the book touches upon a cornucopia of combined culture - including Gilgamesh's quest for eternity, King Arthur and his Round Table, and the fabled Yggdrasil tree of Norse legend.

A reflection of Timur Shah's own mind, An Ordered Experience is a foundation stone in its own right - one that is sure to establish him as a champion of both literature and the humanities.
