The Storyteller's Daughter: A Retelling of the Arabian Nights by Cameron Dokey

3.0

Perhaps slightly simplistic, but it gets the point across. Words are quite often (historically, mythologically, and fictionally) are often the only weapons or tools a woman has. No clearer is this than in the tales of Shahrazad. She of course has a thousand and one stories to keep herself and many other women (a thousand, probably) safe from the wrath of a wronged king.

Dokey does an admirable job of giving a new voice to Shahrazed, and this book is well worth the little time it takes to read it.
