Sinbad The Sailor

This book retells the story of Sinbad the Sailor and recounts tales of the voyages on which he acquired his wealth, of the strange peoples and monsters he encountered along the way, and of lands beyond the horizon. It places the fiction of Sinbad, popularized in the collection of Arabian Nights stories, into the context of medieval Cairo where these stories were originally told, thus breathing new life into these ancient tales of adventure, magic, and mystery.
