Legend

Sindbad the Sailor and Other Stories from the Arabian Nights

by Edmund Dulac

Edmund Dulac painted the pictures for this gift book of 1914, and his Baghdad is all deep blues and gold, in the manner of the Persian miniatures he admired. Sindbad’s seven voyages, a merchant’s tales of the Indian Ocean, were a book of their own before Galland put them into his Nights. The roc, the Old Man of the Sea and the valley of diamonds are all here.
