Noor Inayat Khan, GC, (1914-1944) is remembered as an outstanding hero of the Second World War. She was also a folklorist and writer of considerable gifts. Dream Flowers collects her major works, and additionally includes a number of never-before-published pieces. The introduction elucidates the author's unique literary contribution to the elaboration of Sufism in the West. To know Noor's mind and heart, there is no better place to turn than to her literary creations. Noor's retellings of twenty jātaka tales have remained in print for much of the last century, but other stories from her pen, and her singular mystical drama Aède of the Ocean and Land, have only recently seen publication. Now, at last, it is possible to bring all of Noor's principal works together under a single cover.The pages that follow present and contextualize the greater part of Noor's oeuvre, including several hitherto unpublished pieces. The emerging picture reveals the visionary world of a cosmopolitan author whose constant concern is the life of the soul. Noor's imagination ranges down the centuries and across the globe, illuminating a tableau of human, animal, and elfin lives together working out a destiny ordained in heaven. Throughout her incantory wanderings, a seamless continuity links Noor's ethical and spiritual vision with that of her father, the musician and mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan.
