"Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", "Aladdin" and "Sinbad the Sailor": these are just some of the strange and amazing stories that clever Scheherazade tells to captivate her husband, King Shahryar...and to save her own life. Each one is more fantastic than the last, filled with demons and dervishes, caliphs and genies, men transformed into dogs and monsters with eyes that glow.With "Classic Starts[trademark]", young readers can experience the wonder of these timeless stories from an early age. Abridged for easier reading and carefully rewritten, each classic novel is filled with all the magic and excitement that made the original story a beloved favourite.
