I've been reading Rumi so long that most of these stories and poems are now familiar to me. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as an introduction to Rumi, but anyone just starting to get into him who likes the bawdy stuff would find this a favorite.

Included in these selections from The Mathnawi are the infamous "Latin parts" that Nicholson chose to translate into Latin rather than into English when he translated The Mathnawi in the 1920s. No one could handle this rowdy translation better than Coleman Barks. These stories may be bawdy and sometimes rude, but always reveal the depth of perception in Rumi's teaching.
