Revue de presse :
'This is the first retelling for children of a complex twelfth-century Sufi allegorical poem, 'Haft Paykar' by Nizami, in which seven princesses teach the Shah how to be a just ruler. It is a daring publication, for the original is scarcely known in the west, and the mystical system of colours and numbers that informs it is hard to grasp, even with Tarnowska's clear explanation. But in the end the risk is one well worth taking, for the publisher and for the reader, for beyond the strangeness of the material is the simple truth that a well-told story will always transcend its author's good intentions. Both Shah Bahram and ourselves may be being lectured by the seven wise princesses, but it doesn't feel like it: instead, we are traveling with him to such magical destinations as the City of the Stupified, ready to be enthralled by a beautiful but unobtainable queen.' --Books for Keeps
