About this book
Rustem, the great warrior of Persian legend, leads a set of hero tales retold from Firdusi's Shah-Nameh for children and story-tellers. Elizabeth D. Renninger drew on several earlier versions and aimed for her own blend, written to be told aloud and to give older boys and girls the Shah-Nameh in miniature. The book is dedicated to a Brooklyn boys' hero club, whose weekly story evenings moved from Greek heroes and chivalry to Persian ones.
J. L. S. Williams drew the illustrations, and the book came out in New York in 1909.
