I’m delighted to share a new collection that brings to life tales from Turkey, each story a lively window into a world of imagination, wit, and ancient wisdom. These fables showcase the cleverness of humble heroes, the humor in unlikely circumstances, and the fascinating consequences of human and mystical encounters. With rich descriptions and timeless themes, this book invites readers to experience the heart and humor found in Turkey’s traditional storytelling.

The collection includes stories of everyday people who find themselves in extraordinary situations. From a poor tailor who navigates strange legal predicaments with a surprising twist of fate, to a young fowler who embarks on an impossible quest guided by a wise and loyal crow, each tale brings unique challenges and discoveries. These narratives remind us of the cleverness, resilience, and courage that people summon in unexpected ways.

Readers will also meet fantastic creatures like dragons with seven heads and mischievous peri queens and kings, giving life to a world where the mystical interweaves with the mundane. Stories like these celebrate the wonder and awe of ancient Turkey, inviting readers to dive into magical landscapes, fiery battles, and enchanted kingdoms.

"Fables from Turkey" offers a mix of adventure, humor, and life lessons wrapped in a Turkish cultural tapestry that’s been lovingly brought to modern readers. It’s a collection crafted for those who enjoy timeless tales told anew, a treasure trove of humor and heroism waiting to be uncovered in every page. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed writing and adapting them for readers today.
