A Hungarian scholar took these stories down from Turkish peasants as he travelled through Anatolia. Here are the Stag-Prince, the Three Orange-Peris, the Rose-Beauty, Mad Mehmed and the Cinder-Youth: tales of padishahs and their sons, witches, giants and talking horses, and clever youths who win princesses against impossible tasks.
A rich gathering of Turkish wonder tales, well suited to reading aloud or to the study of folklore. Download the free EPUB.
