Overview
Collected from various sources, these tales will evoke the sights and sounds of ancient Persia and all the magic and mystery associated with genies (djinns), demons, kings, princes and princesses, as well as the explorers, merchants and tradesmen who brought wares from across Asia. This is the world of glorious palaces, exotic spices and enchanting spells; of stories where good and evil combat one another and the brave prevail.
