- Abstract
- This collection, Fairy Tales from the Arabian Nights presents a re-telling of some classic Middle Eastern and South Asian folk tales beautifully illustrated by T. H. Robinson. Whilst the narratives differ greatly in their origins, characters, and motifs they all stem from the initial 'frame story' of the ruler Shahryar, and his wife Scheherazade. She tells a different tale each night, never revealing the ending in order that the King may spare her life. Tales within this book include: 'The King of Persia and the Princess of the Sea', 'Prince Camaralzaman and the Princess of China', 'The Loss of the Talisman', 'The story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' and others."
