A Story from the Arabian Nights.
Part of the 'Bloomsbury Classics' series.
An Arabian Nights story full of magic and mystique, jealousy, bravery and love. Urged by a travelling pilgrim, two brothers set out to find a talking bird, a singing tree and a never-ending fountain. When their sister learns that they have failed and are in danger, she sets out dressed as a man, conquers the mountains of black stone, rescues her brothers and obtains the bird, the tree, and the fountain.
Elaborately illustrated by Danuta Mayer, the rich colours bring to life the lyrical language of this intriguing tale with a happy twist to its conclusion.
