Full of adventure, wonder, mischief, and magic, The Arabian Nights has enthralled readers for centuries. These are the tales that saved the life of the beautiful and clever Shahrazad, whose husband, the king, executed each of his wives after a single night of marriage. Beginning an enchanting story each evening, Shahrazad always withheld the ending, and the king spared her life for one more day so he could learn what happened. A thousand and one nights later, her life was spared forever.

Folklorist Andrew Lang's rendition of these classic tales has been a favorite for more than a hundred years. Some of the best-known tales include those of the Merchant and the Genii, the Fisherman, Haroun-al-Raschid, Blind Baba Abdalla, Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp, and, of course, the seven voyages of Sinbad the Sailor. Andrew Lang's retelling of these wonderful stories makes them suitable for children as well as adults to enjoy.
