Description
The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1,001 Nights Volume 3 brings to life one of the greatest works of world 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 sleeps with a different virgin each night, only to put her to death the next morning. It is on one of these nights that the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king enchanting tales of mystical lands and magical spirits, in an attempt to save her own life.
These stories will last for 1,001 nights, taking you on a journey through fantastical worlds peopled with princes, hunchbacks, and jinnis trapped in rings and lamps. With its unique blend of adventure, magic, and mystery, this edition is sure to appeal to readers.
