"Here is a selection of some of the best-known and best-loved tales of THE ARABIAN NIGHTS, including Sinbad, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Alladin, The Talking Bird, and the Fisherman and the Genie. In this "treasure house of pleasant things" you will find golden palaces, gem studded caves, and breathtaking gardens; you will sit by mysterious fountains, hear the crash of gleaming waterfalls, unearth magic lamps, take a long voyage to exotic shores, and meet flying men and mythical beasts. Nowhere else will you find such marvels, nowhere else will you find the impossible so real and convincing. For centuries THE ARABIAN NIGHTS has enchanted readers, remaining in W.E. Henley's words "That center of miracles." They are presented here in a clear and direct style that renders them as fresh and as exciting as when they were first told."--BOOK JACKET
