Would you like to have someone tell you a thrilling story every night? Scheherezade, a Queen in Ancient Araby, told the King a new tale every night — for one thousand and one nights — and they were such wonderful tales that, after hundreds of years, they are still holding readers of all ages spellbound.

In this new FIRST BOOK of tales of Ancient Araby, you will find stories you will want to read over and over again: first, there is the story of Scheherezade herself; and then the story of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp; Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves will send shivers racing up and down your spine; Sinbad the Sailor has a remarkable way of turning bad luck into fortune, which makes good reading.

And then, to top everything off, there's the funny story of Little Mukra, brave and inventive, and his wonderful slippers by means of which — but read the story, and find out for yourself.

Stories are magic carpets — so ride far, ride free, into Ancient Araby!
