Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.The East is rich in Folklore- the conditions under which the people live are most favourable to the preservation of the ancient legends, and the cultivation of the powers of narration fits the Oriental to present his stories in a more polished style than is usual in the Western countries. The reader of these fairytales will observe many points of similarity between them and the popular fictions of the West- similarity of thought and incident- and nothing, perhaps, speaks more eloquently the universal brotherhood of man than this oneness of folk-fiction. At the same time, the Arabic Folktales are unique, lighted up as they are by a gorgeous extravagance of imagination which never fails to attract and delight. Contains 13 folktales from the Orient: The Cobbler Astrologer The Legend of the Terrestrial Paradise of Sheddad, the Son of A d The Tomb of Noosheerwan Ameen and the Ghool The Relations of Ssidi Kur -The Adventures of the Rich Youth -The Adventures of the Beggar s Son -The Adventures of Massang -The Magician with the Swine s Head -The History of Sunshine and his Brother -The Wonderful Man who overcame the Chan -The Bird-man -The Painter and the Wood-carver -The Stealing of the Heart -The Man and his Wife -Of the Maiden Ssuwarandari The Two Cats Legend of Dhurrumnath The Traveller s Adventure The Seven Stages of Roostem The Man who never Laughed The Fox and the Wolf The Shepherd and the Jogie The Perfidious Vizier ENJOY!
