This wonderful book is the second of two volumes of old Persian tales. These 28 tales originate from the province Bakhtiari, Iran and are beautifully illustrated with black and white drawings and many coloured plates by Hilda Roberts. Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
