In the far and fantastical East, a future monarch searches for the most beautiful place in the world; a genie is freed from his prison after granting three wishes; a prince and a princess give up their throne to stay together; merchants venture into a desert cave filled with riches and dangers; a prophecy foretells that one day every human being will be identified by a symbol; meanwhile, treachery and honor clash on the battlefield.

Comparable to masters of the genre such as Andersen or the Brothers Grimm, Legends of Arabia is the fifth collection of tales by Miguel Ángel Villar Pinto. It includes seven tales of wonder: “The Most Worthy Successor,” “Abdellah and the Genie of the Bottle,” “The Message of the Waves,” “The Seal of Menander,” “Ériador,” “The Cave in the Desert,” and “The Last Battle.”
