With ‘1,001 Lightyears Entertainments’ David Loeff managed to create well-made collection of tales which science fiction elements (not too much of them) with some more traditional ones resulting in book that resembles famous Arabian Night collection.The stories found inside this collection are not equal length, some are longer, the other shorter, some are read as stand alone, while the others are connected - the similar situation with the characters that reader will meet either in one or in several stories.The stories share some common elements, such as not going too much into explanation of science things and presenting some traditional motives in a bit alternative world setting.Therefore, though advertised as mainly SF actually it’sa collection that fully feels like 1,001 Arabian Nights, while the science fiction part is only present to make it a bit different and as a way to approach modern (young) reader.
