Tales from the Thousand and one nights by William Harvey (Illustrator), N. J. Dawood (Translator)

Call Number: PJ7716.A1 D39 1973

The tales told by Scheherazade over a thousand and one nights to delay her execution by the vengeful King Shahryar have become among the most popular in both Eastern and Western literature.

But despite their imaginative extravagance, the Tales are also anchored to everyday life by their bawdiness and realism, providing a full and intimate record of medieval Eastern world.
