The Adventures Of Hajji Baba Of Ispahan : A Coloring Book

Full of rip-roaring exploits, witty satire, and nimble humor, this classic work of fiction my British diplomat James Morier was first published in 1824 and soon became known as a classic to be compared with the Arabian Nights. It launches readers along the rags-to-riches escapades of Hajji Baba, the lazy son of a barber, as he seeks his fortune ... but only if it doesn't demand too much work of him. Hajji Baba of Ispahan appealed to Cyrus Leroy Baldridge as exquisitely appropriate for his highly colorful illustrations. At Baghdad, he set off with his wife to retrace the journeys of Hajji Baba himself, and after a series of fantastic adventures -- in one town a native told him calmly "the last man who sketched here, we stoned to death" -- brought home the 24 illustrations that appear in this coloring book.
