Tales from the Thousand and One Nights by William Harvey
The tales told by Shahrazad over a thousand and one nights to delay her execution by the vengeful King Shahriyar have become among the most popular in both Eastern and Western literature. This title provides tales that range from the epic adventures of "Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp" to the farcical "Young Woman and her Five Lovers".
