Fairy Tales from the Arabian Nights edition by E Dixon Literature Fiction eBooks
This is a small collection of stories from an 1821 edition of the Galland translation of the Arabian Nights. Galland was the first European to translate the stories we now think of as the _Arabian Nights_, and as far as they go, these are excellent stories, well-told and entertaining.The problem with the Galland translation (and, therefore, with this edition) is that it was bowdlerized for young readers, and much of the eroticism and fire of the originals won't be found here.
This particular collection contains the following selection:
The King of Persia and the Princess of the Sea
Prince Beder and the Princess Giauhara (A Sequel to the Foregoing)
The Three Princes and Princess Nouronnihar
Prince Ahmed and the Fairy (A Sequel to the Foregoing)
Prince Camaralzaman and the Princess of China
The Loss of the Talisman (A Sequel to the Foregoing)
The Story of Zobeide
The Story of the King's Son
The First Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
The Second Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
The Third Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
The Fourth Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
The Fifth Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
The Sixth Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor
Readers will note that many of the better-known stories aren't present here; no Aladdin, no Ali Baba, etc. For more complete (and adult) versions of the Arabian Nights, I would recommend seeking out the translations by Sir Richard Burton or by Mardrus and Mathers (my personal favorite), both of which are out of copyright and should be available online for free.

Fairy Tales from the Arabian Nights edition by E Dixon Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I've read this book several times but did not have a kindle copy so I got this one.
Well, a short read at night in bed helps me fall asleep. There seems to be much repetition in the book. Stilted language and dumb story lines detract. Comes across as rather inane.
I enjoyed this collection of classic stories. I rarely have time to read a long book so short stories are a nice treat
Like Folk Tales from the Russian these stories are a huge part of our cultural heritage. Amazing stories that bring back childhood memories and are a more pure form of the 'kids movies' that we get today. The stories in their more original form teach lessons that all of us need to remember and share some adventure that is all the more valuable for being read to your children rather than having them dumped in front of a TV screen.
A good read
I thought this would be entertaining. Unfortunately, the Victorian style of writing left me cold. I’ve read a few chapters, and one day I might come back and finish reading the book.
There are not enough good words to describe this marvellous book!
The stories are rich in content and filled with new (old) knowledge.
Absolutely beautiful. It's worth the price you'll pay for it. I love this version sooooo much!
I enjoy his witty humour appearing in these stories.
