Lively tales of magic and trickery, retold from the original Arabic. The ragamuffin Aladdin finds an old lamp which makes his fortune; a prince disappears on a flying horse; a falcon proves wiser than a king . . . These tales of kings and princes, magicians, and talking beasts, which were daily entertainment in India, Persia and Arabia over a thousand years ago, are retold especially for children in this vivid, fresh collection. Complete and unabridged.
