Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 10 Up—The beloved characters of classic stories, such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Mowgli, come to life as the denizens of mythical Fabletown. With the womanizing Prince Charming as mayor, things are off to a rocky start for these residents. Then Sinbad and his slaves arrive, and Charming misunderstands their Arabian customs and language. When Sinbad adopts American customs, his advisor loses faith in him and unleashes a genie that could destroy Fabletown and all of its inhabitants, unless they find a way to stop it. Also included in this volume is a bonus story about two wooden soldiers named Rodney and June who wish to be made real so they can marry. Willingham's seventh installment proves that this series storms on, full steam ahead. Readers unfamiliar with the Fable world can still follow the arc of this story, with few holes, and longtime fans will revel in the new plot twists and deeper development of its characters. Exquisitely detailed and vibrant art pulls readers into this well-crafted fantasy. Unlike some of its predecessors, this volume is fairly innocuous in content, besides some light cursing and mild sexual themes. A fun series for larger libraries and/or those that already carry the preceding volumes.—Jennifer Feigelman, Goshen Public Library and Historical Society, NY

From Booklist

The Adversary, whose forces drove the characters of European fairy tales into exile, is advancing again, and a party headed by Sinbad arrives at Fabletown in Manhattan to assess New York as a possible refuge for their fellows in the Arabian sector of the fairy-tale homeland. A traitor in the entourage nearly destroys Fabletown in the longer story in this volume of Willingham and company's spellbinding epic. The shorter tale is the romance of a couple eventually dispatched to spy on Fabletown by their master--the Adversary. If the dialogue is a mite clunky this time, the artwork seems more lavish than ever. Ray Olson

As usual, with the Fables collected works, this is another page turner, at once intriguing, humorous, and melancholy at the same time while building on an ever greater epic narrative. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2006

I can't get enough of this stuff. Each time a new compilation arrives----and though I paid for it myself!----it's like getting a present of some sort. The book is considered at length from the outside and treated like some precious jewel, before it is finally opened and considered some more. It's read at least twice: the first time for the story; the second time for an appreciation of some of the finer points that inevitably slip past on the first reading. Also, it usually passes far too quickly and it's like "more! more! NOW!"

I am loath to gush, but gush I must. There is nothing like Fables I've yet found in the universe of the 'graphic novel'----and they get better and more compelling with each volume. Each time I tell myself that I must give up my own style of writing and try out this wonderful alternative way of doing things. And each time I realize that I first need some more TIME first! Or maybe just leave it to masters like Willingham et al, because what could I possibly do to outshine them?

I buy these things with the same unthinking devotion I would expend on a Jack Vance, Carl Hiaasen or Steve Perry novel. Or maybe even less thinkingly...

Worth every penny. If you don't have the series, do yourself a real favor and get the lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars An introduction to the next phase in the war
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2006
Verified Purchase
"Arabian Nights" is as good as any of the books in the Fables series, but the entire sequence read like a prelude to future volumes. Nothing happens in this latest installment to significantly impact the war against the Adversary, nor are there any major changes in the established cast, though we see a lot of new characters introduced who will no doubt play major roles in the future.

There are basically two stories in this volume. The first concerns the arrival of a delegation of Arabian Fables in New York, led by Sinbad. We've seen references to non-European Fable lands in previous volumes and knew that the Adversary had already begun his invasion of the worlds of the Arabian Fables. Now we learn that the Arabian Fables are quite aware of the threat, but still have not decided whether or not to ally themselves with the Fables who have fled to Earth.

There are a lot of culture clashes and the requisite amount of treachery and bloodshed, along with a few subplots highlighting the personal lives of Beast, Beauty, Prince Charming, the Frog Prince, and Red Riding Hood. (As a side note, I personally found the resolution of the Djinn threat to be rather lame -- it is introduced as the magical equivalent of a nuclear weapon, but resolved in an anticlimactic manner in which Willingham seems to be making up new magical rules just to get himself out of a plot bind.)

The second story is about two wooden soldiers serving the Empire in a unit that is establishing a beachhead on an Arabian Fable world. We get another glimpse inside the Empire and learn more about the wooden soldiers, and these two individuals are obviously being set up as recurring characters whom we'll see in future volumes.

Yeah! You probably already know what's up if you're onto this volume. It's a nice little break from the main story that ends up having some nice little future connections. Anyway, so as to not spoil the story, yet convince you that it's still worth reading, let's say that a genie threatens to erase Fabletown and Bigby's dad offers to fight it(But then something happens). Enjoy.

As always, Vol. 7 of fables brings us great art and an imaginative take on old fables. Unfortunately, this one is marred by jaw-dropping cliches and racist nonsense. How unfortunate that BIll Willingham brings his simple-minded politics into his art.
