Forty-Four Turkish Fairy Tales
Ign Cz K Nos Author
This book draws on the rich folklore of Turkey. Forty-four Turkish Fairy Tales. Most of these stories are framed by the usual fairy tale apparatus. There are quests to win the hand of a princess, evil step-relations, talking animals, magical objects and transformations, simple (but brave) peasants, wizards and witches, dragons and dungeons, thousand-league journeys, and loveable fools. The majority of these stories contain encounters with Turkish supernatural beings. These are called 'Dews, ' known elsewhere in Islamic folklore as 'Devis, ' or 'Jin, ' Europeanized as 'Genie.' (Sometimes in this book, the Turkish Dew are also called 'Arabs!')
