Arabian Nights

The king''s new bride, Scheherazade, is to be put to death. Using a clever strategy, she delays her imminent execution by recounting a series of interlinked stories, each leading into the next, which collectively form The Arabian Nights . Full of adventure, mystery and magic, Scheherazade''s stories are unforgettable. A merchant has a terrifying exchange with a genie, a woodcutter discovers glorious riches in a cave, and Sinbad embarks on a perilous journey full of sea monsters and supernatural forces. Depicting themes of greed, morality and good fortune, there is something to learn from each of her stories. Featuring the well-known stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba, this edition is translated and edited by Andrew Lang, a renowned Scottish folklorist and anthologist, and includes black and white illustrations by H. J. Ford. Part of the Macmillan Collector''s Library: a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
