The most popular of the Arabian Nights stories is brought to life in lilting verse. Written by renowned British children's books author Arthur Ransome, this stunning edition of the 1919 original is beautifully illustrated with rich graphic motifs and ornamentation. It also features 12 full-colour plates of rich images to punctuate this exotic tale.
Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) was the author of more than thirty books for children. Born in Leeds in 1884, he enjoyed active, outdoor holidays, many of which became the settings for his children s stories. Swallows and Amazons, the first of the series of the same name, is regarded as a timeless classic of children s literature.
