Product Overview
The city is under siege! The King, enraged by his wifes dishonesty, has vowed to marry every young woman in the city only to have each bride beheaded the following day at sunrise. But Scheherazade, the beautiful and wise daughter of the Kings vizier, foils the Kings plans by telling stories so captivating and imaginative that the King delays her death every day to hear how each enchanted tale ends. From Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves to Sinbad the Sailor, the most famous stories from the great classic A Thousand and One Nights comprise this collection of beautifully told talesbrought powerfully to life by the vivid illustrations of Gustaf Tenggren.
