"Thirty-four stories from the Arabian Nights, adapted for children. One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of Middle Eastern fold tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English-language edition, which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment. Collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central, and South Asia and North Africa, the tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Indian and Jewish folklore and literature." --

Although Stevenson is perhaps most famous for "Treasure Island", "Kidnapped", and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", "The New Arabian Nights" was his first published collection of fiction. First published in 1916, It is an English-translation of the "One Thousand and One Nights", an anthology of South Asian and Middle Eastern folk tales compiled during the Islamic Golden Age. It was put together over hundreds of years by a variety of scholars, authors, and translators across Asia and North Africa, with the stories having roots in medieval Persian, Arabic, Mesopotamian, Jewish, Indian, and Egyptian folklore. Beautifully illustrated by Louis John Rhead, this classic collection is ideal for bedtime reading material and not to be missed by lovers of folklore. Louis John Rhead (1857 - 1926) was an English-born American artist, illustrator, author and angler. Contents include: "The Story of the Ass, the Ox, and the Laborer", "The Story of the Merchant and the Genie", "Story of the Blind Baba-Abdalla", "The Story of King Shahriar and Sheherazade", "The Little Hunchback", "The Enchanted Horse", "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp", "The Story of the Husband and the Parrot", and many more. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration.

Full of adventure, wonder, mischief, and magic, The Arabian Nights has enthralled readers for centuries. These are the tales that saved the life of the beautiful and clever Shahrazad, whose husband, the king, executed each of his wives after a single night of marriage. Beginning an enchanting story each evening, Shahrazad always withheld the ending, and the king spared her life for one more day so he could learn what happened. A thousand and one nights later, her life was spared forever. Folklorist Andrew Lang's rendition of these classic tales has been a favorite for more than a hundred years. Some of the best-known tales include those of the Merchant and the Genii, the Fisherman, Haroun-al-Raschid, Blind Baba Abdalla, Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp, and, of course, the seven voyages of Sinbad the Sailor. Andrew Lang's retelling of these wonderful stories makes them suitable for children as well as adults to enjoy.
