Arabian Nights: Three Tales

‘According to legend, the stories we know as ‘The Arabian Nights’ were first spun out by Scheherazade across a thousand and one nights. Now modern-day Scheherazade Deborah Nourse Lattimore retells a trio of these timeless tales, enriching them with paintings both lavish and luminous. . . .Arabian Nights is a model of painstaking research and a triumph of artistry, from the breathtaking dust-jacket portrait of Aladdin to the gorgeously embellished picture of a genie on the final page. Clearly, this is a book for all ages to treasure and one that elevates its creator to the first rank of American picture book artists.’—Los Angeles Times.
