Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Introduction	Caverswall Palace Publications is proud to present the timeless tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. This literary masterpiece will make you laugh and make you cry. It'll tug at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bones. Oh yes, it's that good. The Mail on Sunday said, "It is truly hilarious and delightfully charming," while The Observer said, "A modern-day classic destined to take pride of place on your bookshelf." Neither of them were actually talking about this story, but if they were, they'd probably say something along similar lines. Set in the Persian town of Ababrakhabakebab sometime in the distant past, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves is the story about a man called Ali Baba and his local group of forty thieves, which you could probably guess from the story's title. It gives a rare insight into the functionings (if that's even a word) of Persian society, focussing on themes such as jealousy, greed, revenge and trust. The story is as relevant now as it was back in the days of the Arabian Nights, displaying the awesome power of good and the flawed forces of evil in conquest with each other. Oh yes, that sounds quite impressive. And in many many centuries to come, its relevance will remain equally as strong. On this site, you can view information about the story, its characters and Ababrakhabakebab, Persia. You can find out what other people thought of the story and read the first two amazing chapters of it. And, most importantly, and the main reason why this site even exists, you can purchase the full story, either as a virtual version to take up space on your computer, or a real "oooh, you can feel the gloss on its cover" paperback version. A download costs £2 and a real life physical copy, which should find its way through your letter box in less than a week, costs £6.99 (plus delivery).
