The Thief of Bagdad

It is quite probable that newcomers to 'The Thief of Bagdad' will haev been drawn to it by the recently revived classic Douglas Fairbank's film of the twenties. Others will know it for its synonymity with the mystery and fantasy of the East. Written at the beginning of the century it retains the ability to life the reader upon a magic carpet ride into the wonder of the orient. As the author informs us it is a 'tale of adventures, exploits and love.'
