(2) 4-6 Fletcher offers a plausible explanation of how Sheherazade (rendered here as Sharazad) acquired her vast repertoire of stories. In a suspenseful first person novel, crippled orphan Marjan becomes involved in palace politics as a handmaiden to the fabled princess and as a discoverer of new stories. Boxed "Lessons for Life and Storytelling" precede each chapter and are shrewd observations on the potential of language and literature to effect change.
