About the book: 1955 / In Azerbaijani folk tales there live brave maidens - warriors, terrible ifrits and beautiful peris. There, exotic flowers and trees grow in luxurious gardens, and fountains provide coolness to a tired traveler. Bogatyrs hunt in the mountains and winding gorges, where good and evil divas hide from human eyes. Cruel dervishes (wandering monks possessing secret knowledge and witchcraft) harm the main characters in every possible way. But Good, as it should be, triumphs over evil. The storylines echo Tajik, Russian and Arab folk tales.
