About the book >.>.> I had begun many thousands of miles away to the east and quite a few years before intrigued by a talismanic triangle with three tassels either worn as an amulet to ward off evil spirits and illness or embroidered as a pattern on clothing with the same purpose. I had searched for it west- ward from Afghanistan and the mountains of the Hindu Kush until my wanderings had led me to this island of Karpathos. And though I had found the amulet both worn and embroidered throughout my journeys I had come no closer to discovering its origins. I had had to conclude that these might be too far removed in time to be traceable but it did seem that its dissemination westward had been in the hands of Turkic peoples. (LL)
