Description
This is a completely new version of the Arabian Nights-many of the stories have never appeared before in a collection for children. They include fables, romances, narrative jokes, and fairy tales. It is written in a style that is clear, gripping and poetic-one which conveys the flavor of the original and preserves the context of a magical, cruel, desert world.
