Publisher's Synopsis

No children's library is complete without this beautiful hardcover edition of selected tales from One Thousand and One Nights.

For the past two hundred years, readers young and old alike have been transported and amazed by these remarkable classic stories, in which the everyday mingles on an equal footing with the uncanny and the miraculous. Accompanying the text are illustrations by W. Heath Robinson, which are themselves miracles of vision and imagination.

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines.

About the Publisher

Everyman's Library

Everyman's Library was founded on 15th February 1906 with the publication by Joseph Dent (1849-1926) of fifty titles. Dent, a master bookbinder turned publisher, was a classic Victorian autodidact. The tenth child of a Darlington house-painter, he had left school at thirteen, and arrived in London with a half crown in his pocket. He promised to publish new and beautiful editions of the world's classics at one shilling a volume, 'to appeal to every kind of reader: the worker, the student, the cultured man, the child, the man and the woman' so that 'for a few shillings the reader may have a whole bookshelf of the immortals for five pounds (which will procure him a hundred volumes) a man may be intellectually rich for life'. 'Infinite riches in a little room', as he also put it.
