Jamil is a poor weaver who daydreams of marrying a princess and never again having to work. When he confesses his dream to his cat Sardul, the resourceful feline resolves to make his master's wish come true. Sardul tricks the royal family into thinking Jamil is the richest man in the world and giving him their daughter in marriage. But the princess soon discovers that something's not quite right, and even Sardul may not be able to save the situation. Fiona French offers a vibrant, beautifully illustrated version of this classic folk tale.
