Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive collection of folk hero tales builds on the success of the first edition by providing readers with expanded contextual information on story characters from the Americas to Zanzibar. Despite the tremendous differences between cultures and ethnicities across the world, all of them have folk heroes and heroines—real and imagined—that have been represented in tales, legends, songs, and verse. These stories persist through time and space, over generations, even through migrations to new countries and languages. This encyclopedia is a one-stop source for broad coverage of the world's folk hero tales. Geared toward high school and early college readers, the book opens with an overview of folk heroes and heroines that provides invaluable context and then presents a chronology. The book is divided into two main sections: the first provides entries on the major types and themes; the second addresses specific folk tale characters organized by continent with folk hero entries organized alphabetically. Each entry provides cross references as well as a list of further readings. Continent sections include a bibliography for additional research. The book concludes with an alphabetical list of heroes and an index of hero types.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carefully curated and translated by Dr. Manijeh Rabiei, Persian Garden of Imagination breathes new life into these ancient texts that shed light on Iranian culture and mythology. The literary stories of Iran contain complex topics and symbols related to the region’s classic, pre-Abrahamic faiths, including Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, and mysticism. This collection comprises thirty stories that began in the oral storytelling tradition from before the written word was created. For millennia, the folklore found in this book was used as a way for people to understand their fears, to express their culture’s worldview, and to interpret the deep and fascinating history of their region. Filled with beautiful and evocative literary art, tales of deception, and stories of enduring love, Persian Garden of Imagination captures the essence of the Persian belief system and provides essential reading for anyone craving knowledge about this mesmerizing part of the world.

Book excerpt: 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
