Synopsis
The String Of Pearls by George Payne Rainsford James. A collection of oriental tales framed by moralizing anecdotes and fantastic episodes. The book blends didactic fables with marvels: stories such as Hadgee Ibraham and His Son, the Charitable Man and His Dog, the Building of Bagdat, the Diver of Oman, and the Travels of Prince Acbar, among others. Each tale conveys lessons about virtue, repentance, charity, humility, and the perils of pride, as protagonists are guided or punished through magical transformations, fairy interventions, and encounters with Afrits and genii. The narratives are set in settings like Arabia, Cairo, Mecca, Bagdat, Oman, and Afghanistan, mixing pious reflection with adventure and romance. The collection reflects early 19th-century popular didactic storytelling, combining travelogue-like detail with fantasy. The String Of Pearls is thus a tapestry of moral parables framed as entertainments.
