About this work

This page shows neat, black ink writing in a flowing script across a light background. The text fills most of the space, with a few small decorative lines at the top and bottom. The paper looks aged, with a slight yellow tone. This is part of a story called *Tales of a Parrot*, written in Persian. The script is dense but carefully arranged, with no images—just words. If you like this style of writing, look up Renaissance.
