These classic folk tales from Asia, Arabia and Persia are taken from the reputed 1001 stories told by Scheherazade to entertain her husband, the Sultan, to prevent him from having her killed. Every tale will weave its own spell on readers as they dip into an enchanted land where Aladdin discovers a genie held captive in a magic lamp, Sinbad sets sail on a series of fantastic voyages and surprising heroes and magic creatures reveal hidden depths of bravery and ingenuity. Augmented with H J Lord's charming illustrations and pretty printed endpapers, this hardback compendium with gilded edges and ivory pages is a true keepsake and will grace any discerning book-lover's shelves.
