Whales and Magic Sinbad's First Voyage Ruth Finnegan

Sinbad the Sailor sets out over the sea to retrieve his fortune with all his remaining goods on board. They alight on a beautiful island - but no it is a huge whale who, awakened by their shouts, tosses Sinbad painfully into the sea. Magically rescued he is befriended by a great king, and his ship, with crew and full cargo wondrously returns. Sinbad returns to his beloved Baghdad, now a rich man - till the next voyage! A tale from the Arabian Nights, a collection of adventures parallel to Homer's Odyssey. Like your grandmother told you.
