Take Pea Boy: And Other Stories From Iran Compiled By Elizabeth Laird Expressed As E-Text

Lovely book with unusual stories but with powerful messages, We got this book originally from the library, The stories were light, rich, fun and different from the staples which our five year old daughter is used to, When the time came to take them back to the library, we realised that we had to have a copy of our own, Iran is a country of 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 in that large and diverse country, award winning novelist Elizabeth Laird has gathered a wealth of stories, and here she retells, in her own inimitable style, some of its best.
This book is an exciting insight into a people with an ancient and rich culture, making an important contribution to international understanding as well as being a rewarding book in itself.
Beautifully illustrated by a gifted young artist who was brought up in

Iran, Pea Boy and Other Stories from Iran is a feast for the eye and the ear.
