The New Internationalist is one of the most profound magazines.
The New Internationalist is a world leader in communicating development, environmental and social justice issues. It is a publication designed to lift the consciousness of people around the world for a sustainable and peaceful future. Also in pursuit of an equal and just world, Amnesty International is proud to be associated with the New Internationalist.
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. The award-winning author's travels in Iran give authenticity to the vivid collection of animal/trickster tales and enchanted legends.
