It has quite a few spelling errors and translation errors, for instance, djinni or djinn traslated as Genious or Genii... Overall, it is good and worth a read.
Wow the world seemed like a much better place then. The people are so polite. Great book.
Great book!!!!! Had it in my anthology course but it was incomplete glad u wrote it!!!!!!
for some reason, my mum considers my not having read the Arabian Nights before this as a travesty...
This book MAY have been banned back in the day, but this book is totally used in colleges and sold in bookstores all over the U.S.
