THE STORY OF THE WICKED HALF BROTHERS - ILLUSTRATED EDITION - LAURENCE HOUSMANWhen the King of Persia is shocked to find his wife is unfaithful, he has her executed. Each day he marries a new bride and in the morning he has his bride killed before she can be unfaithful. Finally there are no more young virgins to marry except one, the Vizier's daughter, named Scheherazade. On the marriage night, she tells the king a tale, but does not end it. The king, curious about how the story ends, is thus forced to postpone her execution. Each night she ends the tale, but begins a new tale continuing for 1001 nights. In the end the king decides he can not execute such a cleaver woman and makes her his queen. This is a classic, ageless tale, sure to be enjoyed. Recommended by The Gunston Trust. Age: 12 - Adult
