The king’s new bride Scheherazade is to be put to death. Each night, she cleverly delays her imminent execution by recounting a series of interlinked stories, each leading into the next. <\/b><\/p>\n
Full of adventure, mystery and magic, Scheherazade’s stories are unforgettable. A merchant has a terrifying exchange with a genie, a woodcutter discovers glorious riches in a cave, and Sinbad embarks on a perilous journey full of sea monsters and supernatural forces.
Featuring the well-known stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba, there is something to learn from each of her tales, whether they depict greed, morality or good fortune.<\/p>\n
