Description
One Thousand and One Nights are a collection of mesmerising stories told by Shahrazad to her husband King Shahrayar. In a desperate bid to save her life, she spins a web of tales each night, leaving the King in suspense when morning comes.
Gathered from across the great Arab empire, these stories tell of love and marriage, power and punishment, wealth and poverty, and the endless trials and uncertainties of fate. Retold by Hanan al-Shaykh, they are revealed in an intoxicating new voice.
