Description

London: Penguin Books, 1973. ....Large format soft cover (not large print), tight clean and square, no names or store stamps, flat uncreased spine, minor edge wear. " Originating from India, Persia and Arabia, the "Tales from the Thousand and One Nights" represent the lively expression of a lay and secular imagination in revolt against religious austerity and zeal in Oriental literature. They depict a fabulous and faniciful world of jinns and sorcerers, but their bawdiness, realism and variety of subject matter also firmly anchor them to everyday life." Any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a stock photo!. Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Engravings on Wood from Original Designs by William Harvey . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
