| Summary, etc. | Pearls on a Branch is a collection of traditional Arab folktales gathered from women storytellers in Lebanon and Syria during the Lebanese civil war. The stories blend fantasy, humor, magic, and moral lessons, featuring clever heroines, talking animals, princes, sorcerers, and family conflicts. Many tales resemble familiar fairy tales such as Rapunzel and Snow White, but they are retold through Middle Eastern culture and women’s oral traditions.
