One Thousand and One Arabian Nights in Bloomington, MN

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.
