Book Talk


                                   Storyteller's Daughter

Cameron Dokey

A wonderful retelling of the Arabian Nights, that shares the power of stories and love.  After his wife's betrayal the king decrees that he will take a new wife every day. In an effort to save the young women of the realm, Shahrazad volunteers to be his wife.  As a way to protect her life and hopefully heal the king, she begins a story each evening yet never quite finishing them.  Each telling fascinates the king so that he lets Shahrazad live night after night.  But how many stories can you tell before you run out?  And when an unexpected catastrophe happens will Shahrazad's stories protect her?  This is a fantastic new version of an old classic.  It is a simple and enchanting story.
