Description

For YA and above. Heir to the wise Daniel, Hâsib is a young woodcutter promised to a great future. When his greedy companions abandon him in the middle of the forest, he meets the Queen of Serpents. She then tells her story, a fabulous adventure filled with gods and demons, princes and prophets. From Kabul to Cairo, journeys intertwine with intrigues and spiritual quests while the fabulous nights follow one another. An enchanting and intricately designed interpretation of the story of Hâsib Karîm ad-Dîm, through which David B. opens for us the gates of the Thousand and One Nights. For mature readers.

A great example of how to integrate cultural awareness with beautiful illustrations in an effort to teach as well as entertain.

At times the writing was a little dry, but good god, that artwork. Intricate and lush and at times distracting from the story because I just wanted to look at the art rather than pay attention to the story. Full disclosure, I've never read all the way through One Thousand and One Nights, so I don't know the context for the story that follows this one or the one that preceded it, but I liked the tale, and wish that David B. would do more of the tales.
