Description

Deceived by his beloved wife, Sultan Schahriar is certain that deep down, all women are as deceitful as his wife. The Sultan decides that the world is better off without all these wicked women and his solution to the problem: marry a new bride every evening and have her killed in the morning. When the grand-vizir's own daughter Scheherazade asks to marry the Sultan, he is reluctant to hand his daughter over, but her amazing gift of weaving enchanting tales such as Aladdin and his magic lamp and Sindbad the Sailor work to captivate the Sultan so that he spares her life evening after evening to hear more of these wonderful stories. Comprised of over 30 captivating folk and fairy tales, this book is a great choice for a quick before-bedtime read! Wordsworth Classic. ~ Enh

Publisher's Description of Tales from the Arabian Nights

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.
