The Conference of the Birds - adapted by Anne Maria Clarke

The Conference of the Birds
Adapted by Anne Maria Clarke
from the 12th Century Sufi Poem of
Farid ud-Din Attar

This story was first set down in the 12th century … it was a special, brief time in ways that made it somehow uncharacteristic of its epoch. It was then that the Grail Legends emerged in Europe and when Eleanor of Aquitaine established her liberal court whilst her son was away at the crusades within which the ideals of Courtly Love came into being and where Troubadours and all manner of artists and artistic endeavour flourished.
It was such a time as this that the Sufi poet Farid Mun- deem Attar set down his inspirational tale – THE CONFERENCE of the BIRDS.
