Other editions of book Stories From the Arabian Nights

This is a lavishly illustrated edition of some of the stories from the famous One Thousand and One Nights collection of Arabian folk tales. It is beautifully produced with stitched sections of heavy quality Art paper used for the text. Interwoven are batches of thinner glossy paper, containing superb reproductions of watercolours by Edmund Dulac. Dulac's style is similar to that of Arthur Rackham and Kay Nielsen. All three artists produced many illustrations for books of folk and fairy tales, during the early part of the 20th century. The adaptor of the stories is Laurence Housman, himself a playwright and writer, and brother of the more famous poet A.E. Housman. Stories : Ali Baba and the forty Thieves The story of the Magic Horse Sinbad the Sailor Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
