Shaine H. reviewed Favorite Tales from the Arabian Nights' Entertainments (Dover Thrift Editions) on + 25 more book reviews
I read the stories in my youth however decided to read them again in my "old age."
I found them as fascinating and intriguing now as I did then.
The plots cover absolutely everything...from love stories, murders, thieves, swindlers, liars, greed, mystery all rolled up in the most fantastic imaginative writings.
This translated edition by Richard F. Burton, takes a bit of getting used due to the English vocabulary used at the time in 1840s. However it is charming and easily understandable.
If you want to be transported to another time and place - this book will take you there
