4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Collection, February 18, 2011
This review is from: Favorite Tales from the Arabian Nights' Entertainments (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
218 Pages
Translator: Richard F. Burton
Stories Included in this volume:

Sinbad the Seaman and Sinbad the Landsman
The First Voyage of Sinbad
The Second Voyage of Sinbad
The Third Voyage of Sinbad
The Fourth Voyage of Sinbad
The Fifth Voyage of Sinbad
The Sixth Voyage of Sinbad
The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
Aladdin or the Wonderful Lamp
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
The Fisherman and the Jinni
The Tale of the Ensorcelled Prince
Judar and his Brethren
Khalifah the Fisherman of Baghdad

I didn't have a huge complaint about the translation, but I did find that the book was occasionally not-quite-easy-to read. This is because the print stretches all the way to the margins, so I had to pretty much flatten the book to read it. This is an interesting collection of stories and I'm not sorry that I purchased it; it's a great addition to my library.

I mark this 4 Stars for "Entertainment Value."


Edit: When I got this book, it was $3 regular price (i.e., not discounted at all). Not sure if I'd have paid $6.95 for it. Yikes. It hasn't even been a month.
