Quotes From "The Storytellers Daughter: A Retelling Of The Arabian Nights" By Cameron Dokey

1
For surely a king is first a man. And so it must follow that a king does as all men do: the best he can. Cameron Dokey
2
A story can fly like a bee, so straight and swift you catch only the hum of its passing. Or move so slowly it seems motionless, curled in upon itself like a snake in the sun. It can vanish like smoke before the wind. Linger like perfume in the nose. Change with every telling, yet always remain the same. Cameron Dokey
