Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Iran has mountains striped with snow, dense forests where bears and lynxes still roam, deserts, bazaars...but above all it has stories - of fairies and demons, of a monstrous metal eagle called the okab, of romantic cockroaches and foolish weavers. During her travels, Elizabeth Laird has gathered a wealth of stories, and here she retells, in her own inimitable style, some of Iran's best, with delightfully offbeat illustrations from Shirin Adl.
Praise for A Fistful of Pearls and Other Tales from Iraq:
'Its baddies are wolves and thieves; its stories are fabulous.'
The Daily Telegraph
Iran has mountains striped with snow, dense forests where bears and lynxes still roam, deserts and bazaars - but, above all, it has stories. During her travels Elizabeth Laird has gathered a wealth of stories, and here she retells some of Iran's greatest legends.
