Sindbad's Second Voyage

From The Arabian Nights Entertainments, collected by Andrew Lang

This reader is adapted from 'The Second Voyage of Sindbad the Sailor' in The Arabian Nights Entertainments, a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales gathered and retold by Andrew Lang in the late nineteenth century. The Arabian Nights stories have delighted readers for generations with their tales of adventure, cunning, and wonder. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. Sindbad's voyage teaches young readers that resourcefulness and courage matter more than treasure, and that even in the darkest valley, hope and cleverness can light the way home.
