Welcome to the world of 'The Thousand Nights and One Night' - an ancient world of enchantment and adventure,where magic is commonplace and animals talk,where genies rub shoulders with men,and wicked sorcerers abound.
This collection of tales includes favourites such as 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' and 'Aladdin's Lamp',as well as less familiar stories.Jan Pienkowski's adventurous
silhouettes and the elegant retellings by David Walser capture the excitement of these exotic fables,giving them a new dimension.
Other tales include 'Shahrazade: The First Night','The Tale of the Birds,the Beasts and the Carpenter','The Tale of Sinbad the Sailor','The
Tale of the Fox and the Cock','The Tale of the Fisherman and the Genie' and 'Shahrazade: The Last Night'.
