    1. Sufi stories of Rumi
    Sep 17 2025
    Rumi, the 13th century Sufi mystic is one of the most read poets in the world and his work is a tapestry of stories, imagery, insights and the odd lewd tale.
    Come with me on a tour of his stories and hear about how I went looking for Sufis in the mountains of Iran..

    (more stories like that in my book, Hand to Mouth to India, about hitchhiking from England to India when I was 20..)
