“Whispering mysteries, songs of the ages, the wonders of wandering
—they’re all in Ludmila Zeman’s illustrated versions of Sindbad,
Sindbad’s Secret and Sindbad in the Land of Giants… These
sumptuously illustrated books, their pages glowing with crimson,
turquoise, amber and gold, … present a fantastical world of
monsters, frantic escapes and feats of daring —all of which our
hero Sindbad endures with glorious success.“The classic The Tales
of the Thousand and One Nights is a potent source for today’s epic
fantasy.”
—The Toronto Star
