Yes, we've all heard the story of how Shahrazarad saved her life by telling the King tales lasting 1000 nights. But did you ever wonder about the story behind the story? Why did Shahrazarad risk her life to save the King's life. Why did the King decide to wed one night and kill his bride the next day?

How did the King learn to defeat his younger brother by listening to Shahrazarad's tales? This is an excellent book for anyone who enjoys the Arabian Nights tales. I won't give anything away except this bok is magic in itself and belongs in the library of anyone who enjoys a good story.
