The Silent Princess

The Silent Princess; Folktales from Turkey Ejnaz Kanouz Publisher: Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Center for Arabic Language, Kalima Project for Translation Publisher's note: It was mentioned in the introduction of the original book that these tales are independent of European and Eastern tales and even from the tales of the Arab Nights in their environment and content. However, this is a matter that can be subject to academic research. The notable point is what the collector of the tales and their translator into English pointed out, saying: "Turkish fairy tales are not like the tales of One Thousand and One Nights, but they are tales of a thousand days and days." And we do not know precisely — if this is correct — whether the matter is that these tales always end happily or whether it is because the tales of One Thousand and One Nights were told only at night?
