4.0 out of 5 stars
Magic personified in lyric story,
This review is from: Arabian Nights: Four Tales from a Thousand and One Nights (Pegasus Library) (Hardcover)
Richard Francis Burton was essentially the first to produce an unexpurgated translation of this wonderful book of tales. Though Burton's English is often excessively stilted, Jack Zipes has quite handily adapted (and condensed from the original 10 volumes) this magical grouping of stories, as told by the enchanting Scheherazade, who tells the nightly tales to save her own life. A classic and must have for anyone's library.
