Persian folklore has been handed down from generation to generation
for centuries in an effort to understand the past and pass on
valuable lessons. Mehry M. Reid remembers sitting next to her
grandmother, as she relayed captivating stories adapted to express
her own feelings, hopes, and desires. These stories, which her
grandmother first heard from her own mother and grandmother, began
Reid's fascination with the Persian legends and folktales that she
has selected and reinterpreted in "Persian Legends." As Reid
transports readers of all ages on an unforgettable journey through
ancient Persia, she highlights an eclectic group of characters
comprised of people, animals, and objects that trace historical
events, share legends most favored in Persian culture, and offer
tales that convey their meanings in simple, often humorous ways.
Take a walk with Princess Mina in the rose garden; listen to the
king's storyteller; travel to the mountain of the forty virgins;
discover the charm of the red diamond; and go to the crystal cave
and drink from the wish fountain. "Persian Legends: A Book of 101
Stories" shares a memorable collection of legends and tales that
provides a glimpse into Persian history, helps others appreciate
ancient tales, and most importantly, preserves the legacy of folk
literature for future generations.
