Princess Badoura: A Tale from the Arabian Nights

About this book

Two young people meet through an enchantment, fall in love and wake apart. A missing talisman sets off a journey of disguises, mistaken identities and improbable reunions across the courts of the Arabian Nights.

Laurence Housman retells the adventures of Princess Badoura and Camaralzaman with a lively sense of their changing fortunes. Edmund Dulac's illustrations supply richly coloured scenes of gardens, palaces and processions. Their delicate detail makes each pause in the story feel as memorable as its next surprise.
