From the Book of 1000 Tales: Stories of Armenia and Its People 1892-1922 Diana Agabeg Apcar

Written almost 100 years ago,these stories chronicle the joys, lover and pain of a simple mountain peopleburied deep in the Caucasus, whose faith transcendedtheir suffering. Unique in the fact that the author if these tales, a directdescendant of her scattered race of her scattered race, never set foot in herbeloved homeland. She wrote them in a country far removed geographically, ethnicallyand culturally from her upbringing, from her family and from her Mother Church. Word of mouth was her sole source,gleaned from the many hundreds of displaced Armenians seeking new become and anew life away from their tormentors. This manuscript, written so many yearsago, Languished and finally came to light 67 years after the death of theauthor. It is our hope that The Book ofOne Thousand Tales will be a revelation to all.
