To stay alive, Shahrazad must tell a story so good the king cannot bear to kill her before it ends. Night after night she spins tales of jinn and merchants, a fisherman who uncorks a brass bottle, the porter and the ladies of Baghdad, the three apples, and the barber's six unlucky brothers. This first volume of Edward William Lane's celebrated translation, edited by his nephew Edward Stanley Poole, sets up the famous frame and keeps Lane's rich notes on the customs behind the tales. If her invention ever fails, the dawn brings the executioner. Beautifully typeset Tydbyts Classics edition.
