Hasib & The Queen of Serpents

Derived from the tale of A Thousand and One Nights, this is the tale of Hasib, the son of a wise man, and the adventures he stumbled upon when his comrades tricked him. The narration of a story within a story, this is a fairy tale beautifully illustrated and true to the original telling.

Hasib & The Queen of Serpents is a magical story that attracts the reader's interest and is definitely worth reading. This graphic novel is recommended for all fans of the genre.

I loved this! What a wonderful, wild ride! I already have this on my wishlist for my libraries graphic novel collection.

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.
