Tales from the Arabian Nights are about the magic and the mystery of far-flung places -- or at least they were far-flung when Aladdin and the Lamp, Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves first became popular in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries. Here was a land of camels, of silks, of fabulously wealthy palaces, guards with turbans and gleaming, polished scimitars; the women were scented, had kohl under their eyes and lounged on cushions or danced. And most importantly there was magic. There were flying carpets, angry Djinns and helpful genies stuck in bottles or in rings, who would do the will of their masters. There were palaces that could appear and disappear in a trice, or be transported across vast deserts to another country, leaving just an empty space where they once were. And there was the beautiful Sheherezade who, with her sister Dinazarde, kept the Sultan Shariah amused, aghast and on tenterhooks with each of her tales for 1001 nights -- until he finally acknowledged that his Sheherezade was too special to behead like her predecessors. Toby Stephens' theatrical Shakespearean credits for the RSC include Measure for Measure, All's Well That Ends Well, for which he was awarded the Sir John Gielgud Award for best actor as well as the Ian Charleson Award. His film and television appearances include Camomile Lawn, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, The Great Gatsby. He has also performed the part of Edmund in the Naxos AudioBooks' production of King Lear.

This is a fun approach to photography, showing children how to take better pictures using the kind of equipment they are most likely to have. The subjects photographed, such as parents and family pets, are all familiar to children. The book runs through the first steps such as focusing, composition, landscape or portrait format, simple self portraits and exposure problems with step-by-step instructions. It then leads onto the finer points of successful picture taking including action photography which necessitates more thought and planning than posed photography. An exercise to improve the photographer's ability to tell a story with photographs, is given. Tips and checklists are listed for use when taking holiday and underwater photographs with a disposable camera. Close-up photography is gone into in some detail showing how objects should be arranged and recommendations given for the correct film and lenses to be used. Imaginative suggestions are made for the use of all the left-over prints such as collage- or montage-making on a chosen subject. There is also a section on pets and animal photography recommending that it helps to understand animals and how they behave, aim for natural shots not posed ones, be sensitive, not to get too close and how to attempt to show both detail and movement. Finally, flash photography is explained, showing how it can be used to compensate for light at night but also in daylight to give extra detail in the shadowy area. Tips are given to prevent unnecessary shine on skin and red-eye problems and special effects using subject movement is described. For the more advanced photographer there are suggestions for the use of gadgets and filters and creative ideas for the construction of sets (backdrops and models) to photograph.
