'This Penguin edition is the one to have'
SUNDAY TIMES

When the beautiful Shahrazad must spend the night with the bloody-handed King Shahriyar, she is not expected to survive beyond dawn. But using all her intelligence and resourcefulness, she begins a sequence of stories that will last 1001 nights: stories of caliphs and merchants, sultans and dancing girls, robbers and enchanted rings, and fantastical fountains of Youth, brought to life in Malcolm C. Lyons's acclaimed translation.

This volume also includes the well-known tale of 'Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'.
