Carefully curated and translated by Dr. Manijeh Rabiei, Persian Garden of Imagination breathes new life into these ancient texts that shed light on Iranian culture and mythology. The literary stories of Iran contain complex topics and symbols related to the region's classic, pre-Abrahamic faiths, including Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, and mysticism.

This collection comprises thirty stories that began in the oral storytelling tradition from before the written word was created. For millennia, the folklore found in this book was used as a way for people to understand their fears, to express their culture's worldview, and to interpret the deep and fascinating history of their region.

Filled with beautiful and evocative literary art, tales of deception, and stories of enduring love, Persian Garden of Imagination captures the essence of the Persian belief system and provides essential reading for anyone craving knowledge about this mesmerizing part of the world.
