Sindbad: From the Tales of the Thousand and One Nights (Sinbad Trilogy)

Perhaps the best known of the Tales of the Thousand and One Nightsare those about Sindbad the Sailor. For centuries people have been fascinated by the stories of a simple sometimes confused sailor who mistakes a giant whale for a lovely island and the egg of the Roc (a bird so huge that she can carry an elephant in her talons) for a mountain. Sindbad encounters many dangers but he prevails in this irresistible trilogy thanks to nothing but his own wits. Ludmila Zemans exciting text and lavish illustrations have made Sindbad Sindbad in the Land of Giants and Sindbads Secretan international and critical success.
