Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of the Persian Genii In these stories, wonder-loving boys and girls will find Good Genii, Wicked Marids, Flying Afrites, Fairies, Witches, and Enchanters. They may wander through Oriental gardens fragrant with spices and redolent with the perfume of roses, and listen to the sweet singing of many-coloured birds and the music of a thousand fountains, or they may feast under silken pavilions and dwell in crystal palaces. They may gaze on subterranean treasures of sparkling jewels and heaps of precious metals, and pluck jewel-fruits and gold and silver branches from fairy-trees; while throughout the stories runs a delightful vien of allegory, which lends a subtle charm and ethical value of the tales. The first two series of stories - the foundation of the book -- are retold from a quaint old volume published in England in 1765, under the title Tales of the Genii; or, The Delightful Lessons of Horam the Son of Asmar. The book became widely popular, and went through many editions, one of whom was Archbishop Whately About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
