Hasib & the Queen of Serpents: A Thousand and One Nights Tale by David B.
4.0
Even if this was a retelling of the phonebook, this would rate at least a four star on the artwork alone.
Just look at this. Isn't this gorgeous?
Since the tales of the thousand and one nights is supposed to be tales told by Scheherazade to her husband, Shahrayar to save her life. (Because he had killed all his other wives after one night). The tales are actually a collection of stories, and this book itself is just one of those tales, but in telling it, we hear about more than one story, as the Queen of the Serpents is actually the one telling the tale.
And within that tale, is another tale, so it goes on, but it is all beautifully illustrated, have I mentioned that the art is fantastic. Just wanted to make sure of that.
This is a tale, of the thousand and one nights, that most people might not be familiar with. Because of course Aladin and the 40 thieves is the most well known of these tales.
Very enjoyable. The publisher says this is for mature audiences, probably for the violence.
