The sultan faced a dilemma. He dared not fall in love again, yet he hated to be alone. His solution take a new bride each night—and execute her at dawn! Into the fray runs Shahrazad, heroine of 'The Arabian Nights.' Her gift for spinning tales faces the ultimate test as she must enchant the sultan to save lives, including her own.

This retelling of the classic tale, adapted as '1001 Nights The Radio Play' for broadcast on ICRT, brings Shahrazad's legend to modern readers. Along the way it illuminates the dazzling orchestral showpiece by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov that the tale inspired. Ideally suited to oral storytelling, this new expanded edition offers the story in both its original version and in a dialogue version for four readers.

Also included in this volume ‘Five Vignettes’, a series of scenes that trace a journey from Florida’s Space Coast in the heyday of Apollo to the Taiwan Sunflower rallies of 2014, and two poems, 'Juilliardy' and 'A Beachside Psalm.' New for the third edition is a bonus preview of 'The Blacksnake,' a novella by A T Beaune.

‘An engrossing retelling of this familiar backstory of ‘The Arabian Nights’, entirely suitable as preparation for listening to Rimsky-Korsakov’s celebrated orchestral tone-poem ‘Scheherazade’ (an alternative spelling of the protagonist’s name).’
– David Daniels, author of ‘Orchestral Music’
