Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Magic Horse follows the wondrous adventures of young Prince Tambal. Considered a dreamer in comparison to his brother, Tambal becomes intrigued by a wooden horse dismissed by others as a mere plaything. This finely carved horse, however, turns out to be much more than a toy. The horse is magical and carries the rider, if he is sincere, to his heart's desire. Prince Tambal disappears on the magic horse and has many exciting adventures before he obtains his heart's desire and can return home.
A Sufi teaching tale in which two very different princes find their hearts' desires: one in a wondrous, mechanical fish, the other in a magical wooden horse.
