King Shahryar kills a new wife every night, because he is afraid she will stop loving him. But his new bride Shahrazad has a clever plan to save herself. Her nightly stories--of Sinbad the Sailor, Ali Baba, and many other heroes and villains--are so engrossing that King Shahryar has to postpone her execution again and again... This illustrated edition brings together all the Arabian Nights tales in an original retelling by award-winning author Geraldine McCaughrean. (paperback reissue of ISBN 0-19-274500-X)
"McCaughrean could probably weave a mesmerizing tale from the copy on the back of a cereal box."--Publishers Weekly"Teachers and librarians will find this version a wonderful addition to school programs focusing on world literature." -- Territorial Tattler
