"The author's second book of Ferdowsi's eminent Persian poems is a new attempt to introduce his masterpiece. The major parts of each tale have been scrutinized and translated into prose and verse. Ferdowsi's knowledge, insight, and moral lessons are still alive even though the book was written more than a thousand years ago. Educational psychologists are still examining and studying the relationship among the characters of the tales, as it has affinity and similarities in the culture of the modern era"-- provided by publisher.

In prose and verse. Second listed author from cover.
