Description: The tales in The Arabian Nights (also known as One Thousand and One Nights) have been collected over thousands of years by various translators. The roots of the stories are based in the mythology and stories of ancient Arabia, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, ancient Syria, etc. The common link throughout all of the stories is the frame of a king who finds his wife was unfaithful and begins marrying and immediately executing virgins in his country until he meets a woman, commonly "Scheherazade, " who delays her expected execution by telling him intricate stories every night. ; 24 Engravings; tall 8vo 9" - 10" t; 492 pages; Rare book room fiction sml wrinkled dark grey/gold fictcat
