Synopsis

Every dream has a Dream Master to control it. But Cy has such a vivid imagination that he has met his Dream Master and can travel with him through Time and Space to actually live his dreams. But what would happen if a character from Cy's dream decided to come and live in his Time and Space? Well Cy's about to find out. He's accidentally conjured up the Princess Shahr-Azad from Ancient Arabia - creator of the 1001 tales of Arabian Nights. Cy and the Dream Master are keen to return the Princess back to her home, before she is discovered. Trouble is, the princess isn't keen to go back. She'd much rather stay and enter the upcoming TV talent contest and she's prepared to go to great lengths to get her own way. So begins a battle of wills (and imaginations) between the greatest storyteller of all time, and the timid but determined Cy. With flying carpets, Arabian dungeons and a trouble-making genie Cy's fourth adventure with his Dream Master is as fast and funny as before.

From AudioFile:

Cy, whose imagination allows him to time-travel, mistakenly summons the ancient Arabian storyteller Scheherazade to the 21st century. With the help of his Dream Master, Cy must devise a way to get the princess back to her time and place. In listening to Clifford Norgate's narration, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between Cy's and Scheherazade's voices as they shift with the emotions of the story. Because the two characters grow and change significantly during their adventure, one senses that the changes in their voices are purposeful--nonetheless, they're confusing. Still, Norgate's deep voice is fitting for the story's shifting settings--whether ancient Arabia or contemporary England.
