Here is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagent as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and into the Egyptian desert where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him.

This is a story that teaches us, as only few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path and above all following our dreams.

This book is meant to have changed the lives of so many people, but unfortunately I can't understand how. Obviously I'm not listening to my heart, omens, the wind ...

Bought for the September Smile RABCK as it's on Mafarrimond's wishlist.

Thank you so much for this book from my wishlist. I am so looking forward to reading it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - a magical little story. Read on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Will save this for inclusion in soffitta's african book box for others to also enjoy.
