This book is an exciting insight into a people with an ancient and rich culture, making an important contribution to international understanding as well as being a rewarding book in itself. During her travels in that large and diverse country, award-winning novelist Elizabeth Laird has gathered a wealth of stories, and here she retells, in her own inimitable style, some of its best. but above all it has stories - of fairies and demons, of a monstrous metal eagle called the okab, of romantic cockroaches and foolish weavers. Iran is a country of mountains striped with snow, dense forests where bears and lynxes still roam, deserts, bazaars.
A wonderful collection of traditional stories from Iran retold by an award-winning author who knows the country intimately.
