Furious at being cuckolded, a sultan beds a new virgin each night then murders each before she can betray him. Only Scheherazade finds a way to keep herself alive: for one thousand and one nights she tells the sultan a series of enchanting stories, always timing it so that dawn rises at a moment of nail-biting uncertainty.--Provided by publisher.
