Finding a good story gives more pleasure than acquiring a treasure. Books become children’s best friends as well as guides; they provide pleasure as well as knowledge. Many famous Urdu writers have written stories for children—Bachon ka Adabi Khazaana (A Literary Treasure for Children) is an effort to reintroduce some of these masterpieces of the past for the children of today. Tareekhi Kahanian is a set of stories about three prominent rulers of medieval India: Ameer Nasir Uddin Subaktageen, Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi, and Mughal king Zaheer Uddin Babur. Written by renowned author Mohammad Hussain Azad (1830–1910), the stories provide glimpses into political and cultural life of that era. Readers are also introduced to the classical Urdu language of the 19th century. Rights. For sale in Pakistan only.
