Abstract (2. Language):
The new fantastic tale in Persian children’s literature from 1990 to 2007 comprises an
introduction, a chapter dealing with theory and dealing with the history of the genre, an
analysis of five books and finally a section detailing conclusions. The principal contention of
the essay is that the new Persian fantastic tales for children can be seen as a genre with its
roots in a broad tradition and folklore of fantastic tales for more of 1000 years ago and some
of this element is same between other people and other countries. In order to examine and
define this genre the essay takes as its base a number of theoretical works about fantastic
literature and fantastic tales for adults and children. In the stories under examination one can
detect a development of specific motifs, such as the strange or the chosen child, the journey,
the metamorphosis and the secondary world. There are references to recurrent themes of
identity, sickness, sorrow, death, evil and love. The five studies are taken chronologically to
characterise Persian fantastic tales for children that have been written and/or published for
children in Iran from 1990 to 2007.
