The journey was two years from beginning to end and left Arabia in turmoil for the next one hundred years.. Mistress Wurtheringon and her associates join up with the legendary Mansa Musa as members of the North African caravan and soon are caught up in a magical adventure that has many twists and turns before they are done. Many questions need answering. Are Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves really the rogue bandits that everyone believes? Or are they up to something else? Why are villagers disappearing and never heard from again? Can Mistress Wutherington save Princess Jasmine from being married to the evil caliph? This is the third installment of Mistress Wutherington's 1883 diary recently discovered in a dilapidated shed in River Falls, Ohio and brought to life by legendary restoration artists, Tenda Spencer, Nour Hassan, and Duy Truong.Be prepared for a fantasy adventure that is suitable for the entire family transcribed word for word exactly as the remarkable Tammy Wutherington wrote and illustrated it more than one hundred years ago.
