The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 16 eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 591 pages of information about The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 16.

This volume contains the originals of Chavis and Cazotte’s Tales, omitting the four doubtful ones (cf.  Nights, x.  App., pp. 418, 419).

Collections of Selected Tales (P. 439).

“We have also ‘Aladdin or the Wonderful Lamp,’ ’Sindbad the Sailor, or the Old Man of the Sea’ and ‘Ali Baba, or the Forty Thieves,’ revised by M. E. Braddon, author of ‘Lady Audley’s Secret,’ etc.  Illustrated by Gustav Dore and other artists.  London:  J. & R. Maxwell.

“Miss Braddon has contented herself with ‘Englishing’ the vulgar version, whose Gallicisms are so offensive to the national ear.” (Sir R. F. Burton, in litt.)

      Connection with the Nights (Pp. 448-453).  B. English
