Tales from 1,001 Nights: Aladdin, Ali Baba and Other Favourite Tales
Tales from 1,001 Nights: Aladdin, Ali Baba and Other Favourite Tales | Anonymous
6 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Every night for three years the vengeful King Shahriyar sleeps with a different virgin, executing her next morning. To end this brutal pattern and to save her own life, the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king tales of adventure, love, riches and wonder - tales of mystical lands peopled with princes and hunchbacks, the Angel of Death and magical spirits, tales of the voyages of Sindbad, of Ali Baba's outwitting a band of forty thieves and of jinnis trapped in rings and in lamps. The sequence of stories will last 1,001 nights.

I‘ve never read the original Aladdin tale, so for this month‘s #FairyTaleReadingChallenge that‘s what I decided to do. It‘s really different from the Disney movie. Aladdin is kind of a jerk. The genie doesn‘t have much personality. It was still an interesting story. @Charityann

A collection of Middle Eastern and Indian fairytales, romances, legends, fables & adventures set within a frame story. King Shahryar, loathing all women after betrayed by his wife whom he had killed, marries and kills a new wife each day. His new wife Scheherazade, tells a story, leaves it incomplete and promises to finish it the following night. Stories so entertaining that the king so eager to hear that he puts off killing her from day to day.
