This volume contains Edgar Allen Poe’s 1845 short story, “The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherezade”. A day after Scheherazade escaped death, she endeavours to recount another story to the king, this time of a retired Sinbad who finds himself seeking out new adventure. A comical sequel to the classic Sinbad tales, “The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherezade” is highly recommended for fans of the short story form, and is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works by this author. Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American author, editor, poet, and critic. Most famous for his stories of mystery and horror, he was one of the first American short story writers, and is widely considered to be the inventor of the detective fiction genre. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
