Persian Tales – Bakhtiari Tales – Illustrated by Hilda Roberts (Volume II)

Description

Persian Tales – Bakhtiari Tales – Illustrated by Hilda Roberts (Volume II)

Persian Tales  – Bakhtiari Tales – Illustrated by Hilda Roberts (Volume II) is a wonderful book and is the second of two volumes of old Persian tales by D. L. Lorimer. These 28 tales originate from the province Bakhtiari, Iran and are beautifully illustrated with black and white drawings and many coloured plates by Hilda Roberts.

David Lockhart Robertson Lorimer was a British Iranist, military and intelligence officer. Lorimer was primarily a military officer rather than a linguist. He was often assigned to collect information on significant people, roads, strategic sites, and do other intelligence-gathering functions. Lorimer was primarily a military officer rather than a linguist. He was often assigned to collect information on significant people, roads, strategic sites, and do other intelligence-gathering functions. At the same time, Lorimer had a keen interest in the dialect and folklore of the region. He used to collect his material on dialects from elderly informants and would spend the evenings working with them. He collaborated with his wife, who helped make several typewritten drafts of the materials. Only part of this dialectal material found its way into print during Lorimer’s lifetime.
