Delve into the tales of a long-ago world where light and darkness struggle in an endless battle. Kings wrest against powerful forces, and heroes fight to leave a good name behind. Shahnameh is a collection of ancient myths and epic tales that recount the colossal adventures of the Iranian people; beautiful love stories, courtly intrigue, and unspeakable tragedy fill its pages. Explore eight fantastic adventures through astonishing fetes of paper engineering and dazzling illustrations. With every turn of the page, a new surprise springs to life.

The familiar themes and narratives are as old as time itself, highlighting the virtues and pitfalls of the human condition. This must-have collectible is chock full of riveting and nail-biting adventures of the epic of the Persia Kings and is sure to delight.
