Publisher Description: The day a boy is born, his parents are visited by a wise man who says, "This is a very, very important boy, and I'm going to give him something marvelous one day, but I will have to give him his name first. So please don't give him a name yet." So, his parents call him Benaam, which means Nameless. The story tells how the boy seeks, and eventually finds his own true name - and also finds much more.
