Tatari has been actively cooperating with the only modern children’s literature magazine, Aroosak-e-Sokhangoo (Speaking Doll) for the last two years and has published some brilliant short stories in Persian there.

The March of the Tortoises & The Snail Palace is a short collection of two children’s stories by Narges Tatari, the young, promising writer from Iran, which explores the curious minds of their playful protagonists through their wonderful world of colour, joy and the glory of animals around us. Both stories in this book revolve around the way young children imagine their environment, ask interesting questions and never fear new experiences and they both take their readers to all these exciting worlds of adventure.
