First collected nearly a millennium ago, these folktales are presented as stories that the beautiful Scheherazade tells her husband, King Shahryar, over 1001 consecutive nights. They include some of the best-known legends of eastern storytelling: ‘The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor’; ‘The Story of Aladdin or, The Wonderful Lamp’; and ‘The Story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves’. This collection features over 20 tales, plus illustrations in full colour and black and white by Ren? Bull.
