Sir Richard F. Burton
Favourite Tales from the Arabian Nights
The woman's plan continued for 1001 nights, and engulfed Shahryar in a series of stories which mixed all the magic and mystery of Arabia. These stories have entered fairy tale mythos everywhere, and brought characters as vivid as Aladdin and the Genie, Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves to readers everywhere. In these stories, readers are whisked away to a land of promise, of magic carpets and turban wearing Arabs in a time long ago. Revisit the deserts of Arabia and be mystified as characters drag you into their illusions of yesteryears, night after night, for all nights to come. Night which become so magical that they seem almost Arabian.
