They tell of beginnings and ends, creation and destruction, life and death… The twenty myths in this book come from many different cultures all over the world—from the great classic tales of Greece and Rome, and from Norse, Celtic, Egyptian, Native American, Aboriginal, Indian and Asian traditions. At the heart of each is the story of a child hero. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the stories are well-known: the story of Horus, the boy who won the throne of Egypt; of Heracles, the Greek hero who as an infant killed mighty serpents; and of Romulus and Remus, who were suckled by a wolf and went on to found Rome. There are also many that are less well-known—the story of Cuchulainn, the Celtic hero, and his valour as a child soldier, and of Wen \u003cbr\u003eP’eng, the Chinese boy who turns into a dragon. The title story describes the childhood adventures of three of Persia’s great princes—Zal the white-haired, Rustam the Valiant and Sohrab the Smiling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRohini Chowdhury’s magical narrative captures the adventure, magic, mystery and wonder of these stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM PERSIA\u003cbr\u003eThe Three Princes of Persia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM INDIA\u003cbr\u003eThe Education of Princes\u003cbr\u003eSiddhartha and the Swan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM EGYPT\u003cbr\u003eHorus and the Throne of Egypt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM GREECE\u003cbr\u003eHeracles\u003cbr\u003eFlight to the Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM ROME\u003cbr\u003eThe Sons of Mars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM THE MAYANS\u003cbr\u003eThe Legend of the Dwarf\u003cbr\u003eHunahpu and Xbalanque\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM THE AZTECS\u003cbr\u003eHuitzilopochtli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM THE OLD TESTAMENT\u003cbr\u003eThe Sons of Abraham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM THE MAORIS\u003cbr\u003eMaui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM THE NATIVE AMERICANS\u003cbr\u003eMuyingwa, a Hummingbird and Two Children\u003cbr\u003eThe Pleiades and the Pine Tree\u003cbr\u003eThe Bears\u003cbr\u003eHow the Winds Came to Be\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM AFRICA\u003cbr\u003eThe Children of the Sun and the Moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM THE CELTS\u003cbr\u003eCuchulainn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM CHINA\u003cbr\u003eTwenty-Four Bends in the Min River\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFROM JAPAN\u003cbr\u003eBenkei and Yoshitsune\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Rohini Chowdhury \/ Penguin\/Puffin \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776349384873,"sku":"15387","price":16.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/files\/pricesofpersia.png?v=1779479335","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/products\/15387-the-three-princes-of-persia-children-in-world-myth","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
