Aladdin and Other Favorite Arabian Nights Stories (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
The group of stories known as The Arabian Nights or The Thousand and One Nights is believed to have originated in the East during the early Middle Ages. The tales first appeared in a Western translation in France in 1704. This selection of favorite Arabian Nights stories, with new illustrations by Thea Kliros, features a multitude of colorful characters — devious magicians, monstrous giants, lovely princesses, and steadfast suitors — caught up in exciting adventures that take them to faraway lands.
The six classics included here are "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp," "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," "Abou Hassan, or, The Sleeper Awakened," "The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor," "Camaralzaman and Badoura," and "The Enchanted Horse." With this book as their guide, children can journey to the enchanted world of the Arabian Nights and enjoy the same time-honored tales that have enthralled readers and listeners for centuries.

Great read for the kids. Easy to read translation and fun! Scary stories of course, but great fun. I recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars short on illustration, long on content
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2001

One of the Dover Children's Thrift Classics, this book has only six black & white illustrations, but contains more of the Arabian Nights stories than most books with glossy pictures. In these 83 pages of text you'll find six stories: Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Abou Hassan or the Sleeper Awakened, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, The Enchanted Horse, Camaralzaman and Hadoura, and The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.
With large clear type, this is a good selection for a pre-teen interested in fantastic tales and mythology.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not suited for young children

Some parts were definitely not suitable for young children. Tales could have been written to read better--don't know if they were trying to stick to the original Arabic text or what.
