The Arabian Nights - Easton Press Leather Bound Collector's Edition | Classic Literature & Gift for Book Lovers | Perfect for Home Library & Reading Nook Decor

I treasure this volume. beautiful classic stories for the ages. the accomplishment of Sir Richard Burton in translating this volume can not be overstated. Burton had to fight with current social norms to get this published.a big beautiful work that has influenced many great story tellers. delighting fans for hundreds of years.this publication does not disappoint. great binding, heavy stock paper and copious notes from Burton and others. offer insight into the world Arabian Nights came from. (placed at the end of the volume -see pictures) make the notes more of a study guide than a read along . but they do offer the reader historical perspective.fist picture showing SIZE cloth place holder and one of many beautiful illustrations.second picture beginning of end notes.I never trust one translation so I picked up the Husain Haddawy translation from W.W. Norton & company. trade size can be carried around. the two versions complement each other.
