THE BOOK OF THE THOUSAND NIGHTS AND ONE NIGHT
Translation by Powys Mathers. Illustrations by Léon Carré.
Highly Recommended
A very special, exquisitely produced collection of the famous stories of Shahrazad (Scheherazade). This abridged version, adapted from the exceedingly rare limited edition 12-volume version of the 1920s, includes wonderfully detailed paintings by Léon Carré (1878-1942), in the style of Edmund Dulac.
The most famous and enchanting tales are here, including the stories of King Shahryar, Sinbad the Sailor, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin, and more. Each page has stunning ornamental decoration by Racim Mohammed (1896-1975) and all page edges are gilt. Flexibound (softcover like the original French edition) with a color jacket, and housed in a gorgeously illustrated slipcase.
