For the first time ever, a tale from the Persian Book of Kings springs to life in this stunning and ingenious pop-up book. Zahhak: The Legend of the Serpent King retells the myth of the misguided Prince Zahhak who murders his father to usurp the throne. Cursed with monstrous snakes that grow out of his shoulders, he rules for one thousand years before being defeated. This fantastic tale literally pops off the page and will delight readers young and old with every turn of the page.
