A delightfully unusual version of the adventures of the first of Sinbad the Sailor’s fantastic voyages recreated for us here by the prize-winning author Ruth Finnegan. Children will love this adorable and action-filled story. This ancient tale, drawn from the magical Middle Eastern treasure house of wondrous sea voyages from which both Homer’s Odyssey and the Arabian Night derive, will charm all young and old listeners.

Refusing to settle into a life of leisure and riches, Sinbad the Sailor sets off on another adventure. He should have known! Again, he’s marooned, then carried of by a great roc, attacked by snakes, and nearly dies! but then - wily, wily, wily - tricks his way out of every trap and sails home with a load of diamonds. What next for this Odysseus-like ingenious character?
