Description

The beautiful Scheherazade's royal husband threatens to kill her, so each night she diverts him by weaving wonderful tales of fantastic adventure, leaving each story unfinished so that he spares her life to hear the ending the next night. This is the background to the Arabian Nights. In this selection made by that master of folklore and fairy-tale Andrew Lang, the reader meets Aladdin with his wonderful lamp, the Enchanted Horse, the Princess Badoura, Sinbad the Sailor, and the great Caliph of Bagdad, Haroun-al-Raschid. The stories are beautifully illustrated by H.J. Ford. AUTHOR Andrew Lang (1844 - 1912) was one of the most important collectors of folk and fairy tales, which he edited into twenty volumes, from 'The Blue Book' onwards. Some of his best work is available from Wordsworth, in 'Tales from the Arabian Nights', 'Tales of Troy and Greece', and 'Tales from King Arthur'. Illustrations
