Description

Discreetly, Shahrazad would fall silent at the advent of dawn. Anxiously, the king would wait for the next night, for the next tale. A thousand and one nights and tales beaded together, in this fashion, on a fine chord of opulent imagination. Tales, that kept death away.

A faithful and worthy translation ever is a full, candid version of the 1001 stories that are sharp, witty, hilarious and sensual in their original selves. This book carries 328 tales.

Tales of oral cultivation among the Arab storytellers of the tenth century, probably of Indian origin, this compilation captures the magic and aroma of Eastern culture through thoughts and words that breathe.
