Arabian Nights: Richard E. Burton (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)

Sir Richard Burton translated this wonderful text.You need to learn High Arabian drawing to get access to the original.Beautiful Calligraphy.

This will forever be my favourite childhood story. Beautiful edition!

An absolutely fabulous choice for either yourself or if you want to get as a gift for someone. Such beautiful pictures in this hardback edition of the book and its all of its timeless stories as well. All well written in addition to that having said everything all in beautiful layout. I for one in my own way have always loved these stories most particularly of all the famed Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves. Now having said and word of warning this is not necessarily a children's book.There is in its own time much content of a very considerably adult and gory nature here. It can also dwell on the grounds of erotic fantasy and abuse of that kind as well. For any of who whom have researched these famous stories of the 1001 Arabian Nights and all of the stories' various editions you will find that fact out for yourselves that these stories are not entirely for kids. But apart from all that a very great read with as I have said fabulous artwork and what have you. Some of the most famous fables ever all in very beautifully classic style presentation. But its as I say if you want to read some of the stories to your children you would do well to buy a kids edit of these stories which you will find there are plenty of. That is because this is entirely the adults versions of them and in my opinion most honestly the best.

Given how large this book is, I'm so glad it arrived in such a pristine state. I've been enjoying it, Arabian Nights is such a journey

Got this on my kindle fire 🔥. So far, so 👍. Enjoying this ebook, which does include colour illustrations.

Exactly what I was expecting or better.Fantastic quality 👌 and reading 📚.Really pleased 😀. Professional as usual.

Lovely book given as a gift.

I have yet to be disappointed with a barns and noble book. As I have several. This one however might be my favourite as each new story has a beautifully illustrated arch on the first page and there are many equally gorgeous full page colour pictures and black and white line drawings scattered throughout. One thing I will say is that this translation is an old one as thy/thee/thou/shalt e.t.c. are used.
