Arabian Nights Three Tales — Deborah Nourse Lattimore

Travel to ancient Cathay and meet young Aladdin as he engages in a battle of wits with an evil sorcerer. Enter an underground cave and come face-to-face with the Queen of the Serpents. Journey across a boundless desert to find the Lost City of Brass—and discover for yourself the horrible fate that befell its inhabitants. Many years ago, the stars twinkled in the desert sky as a beautiful woman entertained a sultan for one thousand and one nights with tales of demons and jinns, sultans and sailors, glittering jewels and lost lands. In this lively and accessible retelling, Deborah Nourse Lattimore brings to wondrous life all the adventure and magic of three of those special tales—tales so amazing, they can't be true. Or can they?
