A fun adventure

My 6 year old son and I loved reading this together. He even took it to school for show-and-tell, he liked it so much.

OUTSTANDING FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT!!!

Richard Matheson (author), William Stout (illustrator) and Gauntlet Press (publisher) have created a thoroughly entertaining and clever book about Abu, a woodcutter, who in order to marry the beautiful Princess Alicia, must find the seven marvels and return a token from each to Alicia's father, the Sultan Kasim El-Haroud. Abu's quest is aided(?) by a crotchety genie and hindered by the Grand Visier Zardak and his associates. A spendid offering from Richard Matheson with beautiful color and black and white illustrations by renowned artist William Stout, that the whole family will enjoy. This one is sure to be a classic!!
