They are ancient stories, but they still enchant our imaginations today. Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Sinbad the Sailor. Aladdin. These and the other Middle Eastern stories collected in Arabian Nights are delightful, fascinating, and fun for fans and first-time readers alike. This beautiful, leather-bound edition collects the classic tales of Arabian Nights in a new, redesigned format. Specially designed end papers, gilded edges, a ribbon bookmark, and other decorative elements enhance the reading experience, while an expert introduction provides new information and context for these well-known stories. Arabian Nights is a compelling look at a long-gone culture--and the perfect addition to any home library. Lexile score: 1320L

I was glad that I finally read this book. To be honest I decided to read it now because Margaret Atwood mentioned it in her MasterClass. I also like that I finally know the full tale of Ali Baba and the 30 Thieves. I enjoyed knowing folktales that have influenced terms we still use today. It can be brutal at times, but that is expected in historical folktales.

I think this was a pretty abridged version of Arabian Nights. I liked it, but I definitely would like to read a more extensive version.

✨I found the most wonderful bookstore in downtown Omaha today. It was like walking into a dream.. and the used book smell. I was in heaven. I also went here after spending two hours in Barnes and Noble, so there's that. 🙈😆
✨They had a copy of Arabian Nights that I wanted sooo bad, but it was a little pricey. 😢

Chelsibno OMG! I've been in that bookstore! I visited Omaha just after Christmas in 2014, and spent almost three hours exploring it! 7y
abbsinwonderland @Chelsibno it's like a maze of books 😍there's so much to look at there! I didn't wanna leave, but we got there at six and they close at seven. 😔 7y
Trace I love Omaha. 7y

Amandajoy I've been to this bookstore! I found it randomly while I was there for a business trip. I remember texting my bestie saying I had found utopia! But sadly, I had no room in the suitcase to buy much & I was on my way to the airport. But I'm going back one day! 7y
abbsinwonderland @Amandajoy definitely Utopia! 7y
