The dragon is alone. More miserable than anyone has ever ever been. Covered in boils and bumps and sins and self-hate and horrible scales. No one loves him, he’s too ugly. Deserved. Alone and ugly. And his lovely universe has gone - he had destroyed it. Can anything save him? A little girl? Should he eat her (that’s what dragons do)? Or - wonder - will she help him use a tiny spark to - oh! - to re-create the universe? And, and - love him. Yes! look again! He is shining and - beautiful!

Refusing to settle into a life of leisure and riches, Sinbad the Sailor sets off on another adventure. He should have known! Again, he’s marooned, then carried of by a great roc, attacked by snakes, and nearly dies! but then - wily, wily, wily - tricks his way out of every trap and sails home with a load of diamonds. What next for this Odysseus-like ingenious character? 

A delightfully unusual version of the adventures of the first of Sinbad the Sailor’s fantastic voyages recreated for us here by the prize-winning author Ruth Finnegan. Children will love this adorable and action-filled story. This ancient tale, drawn from the magical Middle Eastern treasure house of wondrous sea voyages from which both Homer’s Odyssey and the Arabian Night derive, will charm all young and old listeners.
