Summary:
THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS is one of the great storybooks
of the world and is a thousand or more years old. As early as
the tenth century, a Persian collection of tales told of a king
who was in the habit of killing his wives after their first
night together. Finally, he married the Wezir's clever daughter
who nightly told him a tale which she left unfinished at dawn
so that his curiosity led him to spare her until the tale could
be completed. ALADDIN, ALIBABA and SINDBAD are presented here
as a tribute to the enduring power these stories have to
enchant, to charm, and to mystify. "If you have not done so, read these clever,
action-packed stories. Encourage every child you know to do the
same. They are as enthralling as when they were first written."
