Book News Annotation:

Biegman, until recently ambassador of the Netherlands in Egypt, frequented the moulids (religious fairs) in Cairo over a number of years, talking to their denizens: the sellers of sweets and tea, magicians and singers, and especially the sufis, who perform the devotions at the heart of the moulid. He has illustrated their stories with equally fascinating and colorful photographs, and has added a text on the moulid and its meanings. 111/4x93/4".
