Flower of Paradise and Other Armenian Tales
Libraries Unlimited | Bonnie C. Marshall | March 2007
ISBN 10: 1591583675
ISBN 13: 9781591583677
Here is a broad sampling of traditional Armenian tales gathered by the author in her travels and translated from Russian sources. More than 50 tales are organized by type—myths and legends, animal tales, fairy tales, stories of everyday life, and wits and dimwits. Readers (and listeners) of all ages will delight in these stories, many of which are short and humourous, making them perfect for storytime programs and read-alouds—from “The Invincible Rooster” and “The Donkey Who Swallowed the Moon” to “Seven Stars” and a sampling of tales about Silly Pugi, the Armenian trickster. Stories are supplemented by a brief history, discussion of folk traditions and food, recipes, photographs, and a bibliography. All grade levels.
