THE ARABIAN NIGHTS Aladdin, Alibaba and Sinbad the Sailor

This collection is based on ancient stories from Arabia, Egypt, India, Persia, and other countries. The best-known of those stories are told here by Donada Peters. In warm, intimate, and dramatic tones, Peters tells the story of Scheherazade and her king, and within that story, the individual stories that kept her alive from one day to the next. Her Scheherazade is gentle and wise, entertaining the king with a cast of unforgettable, individually realized characters and stories that are universal in theme. Peters keeps the listener, as well as the king, waiting to hear what happens next. W.L.S. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 01]
