Sindbad's Sixth Voyage

From The Arabian Nights Entertainments, collected by Andrew Lang

This reader is taken from The Arabian Nights Entertainments, a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales gathered by the translator and editor Andrew Lang in the nineteenth century. The tales of Sindbad the Sailor are among the most famous in the collection, telling of a merchant's seven voyages across dangerous seas. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story rewards the young reader with a lesson in courage, resourcefulness, and trust that fortune may yet turn in the darkest hour.
