King Shahryar kills a new wife every night, because he is afraid she will stop loving him. But his new bride Shahrazad has a clever plan to save herself. Her nightly stories -- of Sinbad the Sailor, Ali Baba, and many other heroes and villains -- are so engrossing that King Shahryar has to postpone her execution again and again...

This is a completely original version of the Arabian Nights by award-winning author Geraldine McCaughrean.
