Description: The Arabian Nights; Tales from the Thousand and One Nights. Illustrated by E. J. Detmold. Bound in white cloth blocked with a gilt design. 239pp. 26.2x19.7cm. In the tantalising, exuberant and endlessly inventive tales that make up The Arabian Nights, the magical art of storytelling has never been more powerfully demonstrated. Here we find some of fiction’ most famous characters – Ala al-Din (Aladdin), Ali Baba and Sindbad – in a marvellous world of all-powerful sultans and seductive princesses, incredible jewels and fabulous beasts. Fairy tales, fables, erotica, riddles, bawdy comedy, mystical encounters; The Arabian Nights draws the reader into a labyrinth of stories which, like Russian dolls, contain ever more stories. This edition features beautifully reproduced watercolours by Edward J. Detmold which first appeared in the 1924 edition of the book. Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description. Will wrap and pack very carefully. Will post worldwide. Any questions please ask. In the unlikely event you do encounter a problem, please do message me first to resolve it, and I will do my best to help.All the books are stored in our smoke-free, climate-controlled shop in Surbiton, London.
