E-Book of Persian Fairytales With Original Art (8 pages)
The original Shahnameh (The Book of Kings) is a long epic poem written by Persian poet Ferdowsi estimated between 977 and 1010 CE and is the national epic of Greater Iran. Although Ferdowsi wrote down the stories, they came from a long oral tradition of being “passed down from chest to chest…” so goes the Persian saying.
This book contains eight separate children’s stories, adapted from Shahnameh. Bahareh Habibi, the illustrator and author, was born in Iran and currently lives in San Francisco.
