And Then, Scheherazade, and Then
The stories from 'The One Thousand and One Nights' have their roots in the Indian, Persian and Arab cultures. They came about in the ninth century and have travelled all over the world. Imme Dros has made a personal selection from this colourful collection of stories, rewriting thirty-one tales in an impressive, smoothly flowing metre that begs to be read aloud. Annemarie van Haeringen has created expressive pictures with a suitably eastern atmosphere to accompany the stories.

In her own unique style and with great panache, but also with deep respect for the source text.

'And Then, Scheherazade, and Then?' is a very clever book: an adaptation that harmonises tradition and modern reading and in which writer and illustrator have found the perfect match.
