The Arabian Nights Entertainments by Anonymous

A book of framed tales with infinite contrasts in the moods and moralities in each of the stories, ‘The Arabian Nights’ have always been Fantastic, magnificent, extravagant, beautiful, gloriously colored, humorous. It has the life and movement of the tales, the spirits that enter and set their own precedents; there is for us the charm of mingling with men so different from ourselves: men adventurous but never strenuous, men of many tribulations but no perplexities.
