Format:Kindle Edition
This is a selection of fifteen stories from the Arabian Nights by Galland , slightly abridged and edited by E. Dixon. The first part of the book includes eight wonderful stories, with brave kings and fair queens, facing perilous adventures, evil enemies and magical beings. The second part of the book includes the seven stories of the adventurous voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.
The stories are excellently written, with beautiful descriptions of exotic and magical lands and gripping plots. What I loved most about this book, is the fact that the transitions from each story to the next, are so captivating that they make reading this book addictive, which of course makes sense, as it is the Arabian Nights.
A note on the Kindle edition: luckily I found no errors, it was extremely easy to download, and a pleasure to read.

A wonderful book, It has all one could need in a fairy story; witches, wizards, good and evil brilliant morality tales for young and old alike! After watching and enjoying other peoples take on these fairy stories it was an absolute pleasure to go back to the raw material and read it and let my imagination run wild, it really takes you back to your childhood. I would say a must read for any age!!

This is an interesting light read - with sometimes quite a moral dimension. The stories are so unlike anything we would write today. For children? I'm not sure.
