"A magnificent, unexpurgated edition of the greatest collection of folk tales in the world . . .
The Arabian Nights is not a book to be read in a week. It is an ocean of stories to be dipped into over a lifetime. And this new Penguin edition is the one to have."
–The Sunday Times (London) "The translation . . . ought to become the standard one for the present century."
–The Times Literary Supplement "These magnificent volumes are the most ambitious and thorough translation into English of
The Arabian Nights since the age of Queen Victoria and the British Empire."
–The Guardian "This new translation of the world's greatest collection of folk stories restores their colour and verve."
–The Sunday Times (London)
