--AS TOLD by the wanderer of legend in THE THOUSAND NIGHTS AND A NIGHT. Continuing our presentation of these tales, we follow Sindbad to strange archipelagos. The narration does not obscure in his own behalf the extremes he goes to just for survival: cast on a fatal shore he conceals from his starving fellows that he has access to an unknown source of food. Again, as before, he must make the journey through a cryptic cavern on a raft, which once saved the day before, so why not again? Serendib, in the present-day the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, also known historically as Ceylon or Tabrobane is the scene of more adventures, an island country in South Asia. It lies in the Indian Ocean southwest of the Bay of Bengal, separated from the Deccan Peninsula by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait, and shares a maritime border with the Maldives in the southwest, India in the northwest, Andaman and The Nicobar Islands in the northwest, and Myanmar (Burma) through the Bay of Bengal. Sindbad's friendship with the Sultan of Serendib gets him in hot water in the next and final episode, the crowning Seventh Voyage of Sindbad. No stranger to many of these realms, poet and world traveler David Normal is again our guest, as is KrOB later in the program. The final 18 minutes are optional.
