Includes "The Arabian Nights" and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp".
Now as sumptuously packaged as they are critically acclaimed, these are new deluxe trade paperback editions of the beloved stories. Husain Haddawy's "highly recommended" ("The Times") translation of "The Arabian Nights" is based on a landmark reconstruction of the earliest extant manuscript version. Readers of this classic will also want Sindbad, "beautiful versions of dozens more gems from the Arab story-hoard" ("New Statesman"), including "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp".
