Sindbad's Second Voyage

From The Arabian Nights, collected by Andrew Lang

This is one of the tales of Sindbad the Sailor, collected in The Arabian Nights, a famous treasury of stories from the Middle East and Asia. Andrew Lang gathered them for English readers in the nineteenth century. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story follows Sindbad, a merchant of Baghdad, on a second sea voyage full of marvels and danger — a giant bird, a valley of diamonds and serpents, and a daring escape. The tale rewards curiosity, resourcefulness and courage in the face of the unknown.
