Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"The Thousand and One Nights, Vol. I" by Lane, Lane-Poole, Poole, and Harvey is a collection of Middle Eastern folktales compiled during the Islamic Golden Age. A desperate king executes virgin brides each morning until clever Scheherazade saves herself through storytelling, weaving tales each night that end in cliffhangers. Her stories span historical tales, love stories, and adventures featuring jinn, sorcerers, and legendary places—each one buying her another day of life across one thousand and one nights.
