SUMMARY: A collection of traditional Persian folktales and fairytales.

REVIEW: I think this is a wonderful international book for children. It is best for older children because the stories can be rather long at times, and also contain themes that may be difficult for young children to understand. Despite this, the book contains a wonderful variety of stories, featuring such interesting titles as: "The Tailless Jackal," "Ruba and the Stork," and "The Giant Okab." This is an entertaining way for children to get an introduction into Persian culture. ( )
