The Tales of Behrang

A collection of twenty-three tales by Samad Behrangi, the Iranian teacher and writer best known for The Little Black Fish. Drawing on village life and folk storytelling, his stories speak to children and young people without talking down to them, and touch on poverty, courage, fairness and curiosity about the wider world. Good for family reading and for adults who remember these tales from childhood. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
