Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The story of this dashing mariner and his marvelous adventures is one of the many tales included in 1,001 Nights, also known as The Arabian Nights. Readers will learn the story of Sinbad's seven voyages and be intrigued by the wonders, from massive birds called rocs to a city terrorized by apes, that he encountered on them. The volume presents a wealth of interesting background information on this timeless tale. It is also filled with dozens of full color, highly dramatic, luminous illustrations that provide a modern-take on the classic illustration tradition of N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, and Maxfield Parrish.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
