The Exploits of the Incomparable Mulla Nasrudin

The Exploits of the Incomparable Mulla Nasrudin is a collection of anecdotes and jokes drawn from Middle Eastern folklore and the mystical tradition of Sufism which feature the philosopher, Mullah, and wise fool Nasrudin.{{cite web ==Use of the materials==

Masters in the Sufi mystical tradition have used these anecdotes and jokes as teaching stories, as part of their pupils' training in wisdom. The animator Richard Williams illustrated the original series of Nasrudin books, and also worked on an animated film featuring the character, which was produced by Idries Shah's brother, Omar Ali-Shah. Williams lost the rights to the character of Nasrudin before the film was completed; he later used some of the animation to create The Thief and the Cobbler. ==Collections of Mulla Nasrudin stories==
