Incredible edition!5
This unexpurgated edition is simply wonderful. The passages are filled with intricate descriptions and incredible woodcut artwork. Be aware though that while the individual stories contained are not cut, this is NOT a full volume of the whole of the Arabian Nights. Sir Burton's full Tales covers 10 volumes and an additional 7 supplemental volumes. Think of this delightful book as the "best of" the Arabian Nights, in a handsome hardcover edition that is both readable and visually appealing. It is a great intro to the tales of 1001 nights. This is not an edition for young children, as the tales appear in their original state, gory and "Grimm".
