New English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 64 p., color ills. "26 folk tales and legends from a variety of towns and regions in Turkey starting from A for Agri and continuing on through Z for Zelve cast a keen and fascinating light on the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia. In addition to stories featuring such familiar characters as Karagöz and Hacivat of the shadow puppet tradition and Nasreddin Hodja, the hero of legends, other stories intrigue us with the adventures of lesser known heroes and legendary figures and give us colorful insights into the history and multi-cultural aspects of Anatolia, a landmass that has long served as a crossroads and meeting point of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The book is further enriched with small maps that pinpoint the location of the story and more in-depth information about the unique cultural and social aspects of the particular region. Young children will be delighted with the stories, while older readers will especially appreciate the wit and universal meanings in the tales, and the highly original information about Turkey and its diverse physical and cultural geography.".
