Disney Literature Classics: Tales From One Thousand And One Nights

This collection of Disney Literature Classics will be enjoyed by the whole family, young and old. The familiar irony, wit and magic of Disney are all present in these comic strip tales that take familiar stories one or two steps further. These parodies will stimulate children's curiosity, and will encourage them to read the original classics. In this parody of Tales From One Thousand and One Nights, we meet Captain Donald Sinbad and Ali Donald. Like his namesake, Donald Sinbad is also a brave sailor and this voyage leads him into similar confrontations with pirates and giant birds as he seeks to free Lady Daisy Amina, the Sultan's ward. He deals with these situations in his own way, but the ending reminds us of the conclusions to Sinbad's voyages, for Donald gains wealth and the hand of a beautiful duck! Ali Donald sets off with Uncle Ali Scrooge and his three nephews to find ajar to fit Mustapha, the gentle genie. On this sea voyage, oriental magic takes the form of a flying carpet, and wealth is derived from coconuts. And, of course, Mustapha eventually finds a comfortable new jar.
