This gorgeous collectors' edition collects several of the timeless
stories from The Arabian Nights, faithfully retold by English author
Laurence Housman and magnificently enhanced with 23 color plates by
illustrator Edmund Dulac, one of the most talented artists of the Golden
Age of Illustration. Dulac's romantic and exotic images provide the
perfect accompaniment to these legendary tales, which include Ali Baba
and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, The Story of the
Three Calendars, and The Sleeper Awakened.
A wonderful work of art, not just a series of stories. -- Carpe Libris
