publicdomainreview:Illustration by Hungarian illustrator Willy Pogany for Forty-Four Turkish Fairy Tales (1913), a book of Turkish folk stories collected by Hungarian-born linguist Ignác Kúnos.⠀ ⠀ From the Preface: “The fairyland of the Turks is approached by a threefold road, in most cases the realm can be reached only on the back of a Pegasus, or by the aid of the peris. One must either ascend to the seventh sphere above the earth by the help of the anka-bird, or descend to the seventh sphere below the earth by the help of a dew. A multitude of serais and kiosks are at the disposal of the heroes of the tales ,- thousands of birds of gayest plumage warble their tuneful lays, and in the flower-gardens the most wonderful odours intoxicate the senses.“⠀ ⠀ More on our site, just click link in bio and search "turkish”.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #fairytale #fairytales #illustration #folktale #folktales #art #turkeyhttps://www.instagram.com/p/B_avaYRpYnk/?igshid=17vya15cec78v -- source link
