Once transported to the mys- terious land of the East by shining word pictures we see a snake-like caravan travelling slowly across the blazing desert, sporadic patches of green with waving palms and refreshing pools of clear water, caves that yawn at the mere command of Open Sesameng and wonderful multi-colored carpets capable of the impos- sible. Ah yes, we say, those were the days, when our most serious thoughts were of fantasies. Now we have no time for such things, for life has grown more complex.

Others, still dissatisfied and thirsting for knowl- edge, will continue the flight. Perhaps you too, would like to meet the people of the caravan. Come, journey with us on the magic carpet as We visit familiar places and recall many happy days spent on the oasis. lust rub the wonderful lamp, and on the pages following you will relive with us the one thousand and second tale-a tale as yet unfinished ....
