In a tale for all ages, humble Abu sets off with a cranky old genie to find the seven marvels of the world and win the hand of the Princess Alicia, daughter of the Sultan Kasim El-Haroud, despite the schemes of the evil Grand Vizier. ( ) I know Matheson as a horror and fantasy writer, but was intrigued by Abu. It is beautifully illustrated and competently written, but nothing made it especially stand out from any other generic boy-on-a-mission-learns-life-lessons story for young children. For a child who has never seen the story before it is probably entertaining, but for everyone else the comic elements Matheson adds can't make up for the tired rehashing of a story already retold a few too many times in the last couple centuries. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

From the land of genies and their magical feats comes this enchanting twist on the traditional quest tale. Abu, a young peasant, sets off with the most ancient genie in his country's domain in search of the seven marvels of the world in order to prove himself worthy of the hand of a beautiful princess. With cunningly crafted prose, gorgeous illustrations, and unique characters, this novel reveals itself to be no ordinary genie tale. From an unraveling flying carpet and ever-encroaching henchmen to a land made of sweets and a city under the sea, this tale takes readers on a daring journey of true love, bravery, glittering treasure, and intrigue.
