Originally part of 'The Arabian Nights,' 'The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor' chronicles the seven disastrous shipwrecks Sinbad and his motley crew face during their voyages: from facing giant Cyclops-like monsters, vicious serpents, and fierce cannibals, to winning loads of treasure on one island and losing it on the next.

The seven voyages of Sinbad are some of the most popular stories in A Thousand and One Arabian Nights. During his 20 years as a merchant adventurer, Sindad encounters a Rookh’s egg, a valley of diamonds, streams of amber, a terrifying sea-monster, an ogre’s feast, the Cave of the Dead, the Old Man of the Sea, and much more. For this vibrant retelling, James Riordan draws from Sir Richard Burton's remarkable translation. Artist Shelley Fowles illustrates with beauty and gusto, and her comedic touch gives these classic stories a contemporary feel.

Sinbad is a sailor who travels to the ends of the earth to trade rare goods. His exploits take him to wild and dangerous places, where he walks on the back of a whale, gathers diamonds in the shadow of birds as big as dragons, defeats a vicious Cyclops, is buried alive, is captured by the Old Man of the Sea, sails on a river underground, and goes on an epic elephant hunt. His exciting adventures will spark your imagination and take you to places you have never dreamed of.
