Beautiful book with a few peculiarities The illustrations are wonderful and the telling of the main stories is great, but I wonder why some of the less-well-known stories were chosen from among all the stories in the full 1,001 nights; some of the ones included are downright peculiar. Still, it was a hit overall with my 6-year old boys.. "AWSOME!" according to janette. I LOVE THIS BOOK. CHILDHOOD FAVORITES AND I LOVE THE PICTURES! ITS A PRETTY GOOD SIZE. FROM LOOKING AT THE PICTURES I THOUGHT IT WAS SMALL, BUT ITS PRETTY HUGE. LOLTHE PAGES WERE ALL IN GREAT SHAPE, NO TEARS AND HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE DELIVERY.. "Thousand & One Nights" according to Maia. Wonderful, Jan Pienkowski artwork here. He manages to capture the essence of the tales without any overwrought *Orientalism*.Everything is clean & crisp & jumps off the page at you.
