The Story of Prince Arsalan the Famous [Amir Arsalan Namdar] (Volume II of III) - Paperback

by Dariush Ahmadzadeh Rezvani (Author)

The story is published in three volumes in English and Arabic. Dating back to the 11th century, the story is about a young prince, who starts traveling around the world, who sees a picture of a pretty princess, and who then has to confront fairies and demons in order to find her. This story is one of the most famous novels in Persian folklore, which had been told to King Naser ad-Deen of the Qajar Dynasty by his storyteller - Mirza Mohammad-Ali Naqeeb Al-Mamalek in the 19th century. At that time, King Naser al-Deen's daughter - Fakhr od-Dowleh - sat behind the half-open door of the room. She then wrote the stories carefully and drew pictures for them. This way, the legend of Prince Arsalan has remained and been passed down to us.
