About A Thousand and One Nights

Looking for background on A Thousand and One Nights (Senya Ichiya Monogatari)? This adventure and fantasy series by Mushi Production (1969) starts out like this. What the story covers: Aladdin, a lowly water seller, is new to the city of Baghdad when he sees the beautiful Miriam being sold at a slave auction. Enthralled by her beauty, Aladdin manages to steal Miriam from the auction and spends a passionate night with her in an unoccupied home.

Along the way, when the two wake, however, they are met by the owner of the home and are tragically separated. Osamu Tezuka's lustful tale follows Aladdin and Miriam as they struggle to reunite with each other while facing the trials of a strange and magical world.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling.
