Description

The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1,001 Nights Volume 2 brings to life one of the world's greatest works of literature in a new and exciting way. This magnificent edition is the first complete English translation since Richard Burton's of the 1880s.

For three years, the vengeful King Shahriyar has slept with a different virgin each night, only to put her to death the next morning. But when his vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell him enchanting tales of mystical lands and magical spirits, she sets in motion a sequence of stories that will last 1,001 nights.

This three-volume set is an unforgettable journey into the heart of The Arabian Nights, with its richly imagined world of princes, hunchbacks, jinnis, and more. With its unique blend of adventure, romance, and fantasy, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves great storytelling.
