Perhaps the best known of the Tales of the Thousand and One Nightsare those about Sindbad the Sailor. For centuries, people have been fascinated by the stories of a simple, sometimes
confused, sailor who mistakes a giant whale for a lovely island and the egg of the Roc (a bird so huge that she can carry an elephant in her talons) for a mountain. Sindbad encounters many
dangers, but he prevails in this irresistible trilogy, thanks to nothing but his own wits. Ludmila Zeman’s exciting text and lavish illustrations have made Sindbad, Sindbad in the
Land of Giants, and Sindbad’s Secretan international and critical success.
