Legends and Adventures of Guru Nanak, the First Sikh

From the best-selling author of Classic Tales from Mystic India comes an original novel about the life and travels of Guru Nanak — musician, enlightened thinker and one of the most beloved figures in Eastern spirituality.

This captivating depiction — part fiction, part history — weaves together facts, legends, folktales, myths and over 40 of Guru Nanak’s poems from the Sikh holy book, the Granth Sahib.
