This book is about teens that ended up with their parents in Afghanistan in the early 1960's when there was no war, plenty of excitement and the mystery of Persian life. My family lived in Kabul and experienced the culture shock first hand. We came from Mississippi in the United States and set up home in Kharte Seh, a section of Afghanistan's capital Kabul. We attended an International School and tried our best to mesh our Western lifestyle with that of the Afghans. There were pleasures and pain; our puberty emerged in a mysterious historical aura giving our lives dreamlike existence.The time we had in Kabul is akin to living directly with Ghenghis Khan or Tamurlaine, Babir or Zahir Shah. When we came back to the States, we were changed. Never again could we view life in the Western vein; Afghanistan was in our blood and in our psyche. This book is about the initial first two years in Kabul. Our family was there for four and a half years, almost my entire teen life. I can still feel the cool, dry mountain nights and the smell of the ancient dust will always bring back memories.

Excerpt from There's Pippins and Cheese to ComeBut by what sad chance have these blithe fellows been disjointed? If a gloomy mood prevails in you as might come from a bad turn of the market you fancy that the evil daughter of Herodias still lives around the corner, and that she has set out her victims to the general view. If there comes a burdy gurdy on the street and you cock your ear to the tune of it, you may still hear the dancing measure of her wicked feet. Or it is possible that these are the kindred of Holofernes and that they have supped guiltily in their tents with a sisterhood of Judiths.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
