I need to go buy this! Beautiful new renderings of old favorites. This will be a welcome addition ot anyone's bookshelf, especially those who love classics. I imagine the book will be even more gorgeous.

I loved this book. I felt like I was transported with every story and the illustrations added so, so much to it. There wasn't really any story I liked more than another, surprisingly. All were so absorbing and well written. I would buy this book. 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a beautiful edition of the Arabian Nights tales with Edmund Dulac's illustrations from the 1914 edition. However, as beautiful as those images are, the translations are very dated now (also from 1914) and this book is really just a more lavish-looking version of the Dover Thrift editions with minimal editorial effort involved. But if you like the stories and would like an edition with evocative Westernized images, then you could do worse. Four stars for the images.

Outstanding illustrations that makes the original story even more interesting and appealing!
