Steeped in the bizarre flavor, humor, and fantasy of the East, this lively and entertaining new collection contains some of the classic tales of far-off places and fantastic adventures which a seductive harem girl, Scheherezade, spun on a thousand and one Arabian nights.
This modern retelling of the ever-popular stories, in clear, direct English, the first new rendering in over half a century, is the translation of an authority on Islamic culture.
