 The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor
The porter, who had often heard people speak of the immense wealth of Sindbad, could not help feeling envious of one whose lot seemed to be as happy as his own was miserable.
Hindbad was not a little surprised at this summons, and feared that his unguarded words might have drawn upon him the displeasure of Sindbad, so he tried to excuse himself upon the pretext that he could not leave the burden which had been entrusted to him in the street.
Sindbad, making a sign to him to approach, caused him to be seated at his right hand, and himself heaped choice morsels upon his plate, and poured out for him a draught of excellent wine, and presently, when the banquet drew to a close, spoke to him familiarly, asking his name and occupation.

CAPTAIN SINDBAD'S story is simple:21 year old German singer and dancer Heidi Bruhl plays the beautiful Princess Jana, who is about to be forced to marry the evil El Karim, who has seized control of the kingdom of Baristan from her father.
CAPTAIN SINDBAD is supposed to be a b movie for kids, but there are some good adult scenes with Williams as Captain Sindbad, his German costar Heidi Bruhl as the Princess Jana, and Amandariz--especially an unusual dream sequence with Bruhl and Williams-- that make it an interesting romantic fantasy.
The final duel between Sindbad and El Kerim performed in the lofty upper chamber of the tower is excellently staged and is among the best that Guy Williams ever performed.

Zeman (The Last Quest of Gilgamesh) focuses primarily on the second voyage of Sindbad the Sailor for her retelling, which strikes the informal tone that Shahrazad might have adopted when she first relayed the adventures to King Shahriyar.
In succeeding spreads, the artwork incorporates many motifs from Persian rugs: a border of exotic birds frames the meeting between Sindbad the Porter and Sindbad the Sailor; a background of hunters on horseback, foxes and prancing deer decorates the volume's most elegant painting, a portrait of the young Sindbad.
However, the volume ends on a note of strength with an ornate depiction of Sindbad the Porter's intimate audience with Sindbad the Sailor, and thus brings readers full circle to the importance and magic of storytelling.

In Sindbad (1999) and Sindbad in the Land of Giants (2001, both Tundra), the intrepid seaman, armed with wit and bravery, survived terrifying monsters, endured lethal hardships, and returned to Baghdad with great wealth.
In order to fit Sindbad's adventures into a picture-book format, Zeman considerably shortened the leisurely retellings found in Andrew Lang's The Arabian Nights Entertainments (Dover, 1969) or Kate D. Wiggin and Nora A. Smith's volume, The Arabian Nights: Their Best-Known Tales (Scribner, 1993), and certainly modified the adult version by Richard Francis Burton.
Author/illustrator Ludmilla Zeman's, Sindbad's Secret is a brilliantly illustrated picture book based on the enduring Arabian classic "The Thousand and One Nights." Sinbad's perilous journey, a crisis, and the unexpected rewards of showing compassion to a baby elephant, make for engaging, entertaining reading.
