I found this one before the previous 2, but it's still a great read! Now I just need to read the other 2. So much fun!

I feel this was quite a silly book, yet captivating at all times with its absurd sense of humour and way of going about events. I laughed aloud more than once, and while this was not the most worldly or prestigious of reading experiences, it definitely was a very fun one

Interesting retelling of the Arabian Nights... must read the other two by Gardner too
