About the Book

A mysterious lady is brought to the palace of a great sultan, but she utters not a word and does nothing but stare at the sea - all day, every day. As her story unfolds we are treated to a sumptuous tale of sorcery, enchantment, magical transformations and adventure. With twists and turns in abundance, the story of Gulnare remains one of the enduringly entertaining tales from The Arabian Nights. Prepare to be spellbound by this sparkling new retelling full of sea kings, sorceress queens, magnificent underwater kingdoms and raging under-the-sea battles!

The Arabian Nights (also known as The One Thousand and One Nights) is an ancient collection of tales that have existed for thousands of years. Harpendore's Arabian Nights Adventures are beautifully retold versions of these ancient classics that are specially designed to appeal to children aged seven years and above.
