The illustrations by Nilesh Mistry are nicely detailed and inventive. I found more the more I studied them. The pages containing the tales are framed in features from the pavilion where it is told, and charmingly, the beginning of each tale is illustrated with a small portrait of the teller. The basic style is Persian, but there are also details and hints of the nations of the princesses.
A lovely book, but one that I fear may miss its audience by being assumed to be a children's book. ( )
