A gorgeous illustrated gift edition of The Arabian Nights.

The king's new bride, Scheherazade, is to be put to death. Using a clever strategy, she delays her imminent execution by recounting a series of interlinked stories, each leading into the next, which collectively form The Arabian Nights.

Full of adventure, mystery and magic, Scheherazade's stories are unforgettable. A merchant has a terrifying exchange with a genie, a woodcutter discovers glorious riches in a cave, and Sinbad embarks on a perilous journey full of sea monsters and supernatural forces. Depicting themes of greed, morality and good fortune, there is something to learn from each of her stories.

Featuring the well-known stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba, this edition is translated and edited by renowned Scottish folklorist and anthologist Andrew Lang, and includes black and white illustrations by H. J. Ford.

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
