Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Rustem and Other Persian Hero Tales From Firdusi
It only remains to be said that if, when started upon their mission, these stories give to children at large as much pleasure as they gave to the particular group of heroes for whom they were worked out, they will not only justify their right of being, but also their method of preparation, which, though without scholarly pretensions, may yet serve to make better known and loved one of the masterpieces of literature, alas, too little familiar to day even to grown - ups well versed in European classics.
