«Tales from the Arabian Nights» is Andrew Lang's selection of fantasy tales, from Wordsworth Editions, in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Scheherazade, the sultan's wife, weaves each night a tale she leaves unfinished to save her life. From that framed narrative emerge genies, princesses and merchants, with adventures such as those of Aladdin and the wonderful lamp, Sinbad the Sailor or the enchanted horse, and the presence of Caliph Harun al-Rashid.
The 1993 edition is part of the Wordsworth Children's Classics collection and includes illustrations by H. J. Ford.
Aimed at readers aged 9 to 12 and at those who want to start with these classic tales in English.
Andrew Lang was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him.
