Bine ati venit in lumea fermecata a povestilor din Pamir, „acoperisul lumii“, meleaguri strabatute odinioara de caravane de pe Drumul Matasii! Aici veti gasi cai inaripati si pasari maiastre, cetati unde salasluiesc divii cei temuti, lacuri pazite de balauri, izvorul ce implineste dorintele si lauta care rade si vorbeste cu glas omenesc. Aici, pastori saraci ajung sa ia de soate fiice de sahi, iar cine se arata darnic este rasplatit insutit. Drumul trece prin pustiuri intinse si codri adanci, dar si prin orase cu palate si gradini incantatoare. Primejdiile nu lipsesc, insa vietuitoare mari si mici sunt gata sa ne dea ajutor, iar cei cu inima buna vor trece intotdeauna cu bine prin incercari. Sa pornim deci impreuna!
