The Arabian Nights
by Anonymous
Filled with mischief, valor, fishing, and romance, Arabian Nights has captivated readers for centuries. These are the stories that saved the life of the Swindler, whose husband, the king, executed each of his wives after marrying one night. Beginning each evening with a fascinating story, Shahrazad always hid his end: after a thousand and one nights, his life was saved forever. These tales, including Aladdin; Or the Magnificent Lamp, Sinbad the Sailor and the Sinbad Landman, as well as Ali Baba and forty Thieves entered the popular imagination and showed that Shahrazad's magic was unbreakable.
