HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

‘“For,” said he, “there never was nor is there one chaste woman upon the face of earth.”’

A collection of Persian, Arabian and Indian tales dating from the 9th century, Sir Richard Burton’s most well-known translation of Arabian Nights brings together ancient folklore and stories passed down from generation to generation.

Featuring tales about love, history, tragedy and comedy as well as fables and fairy tales, this edition remains a well-loved collection of exotic and evocative stories. Fantastical and curious customs are bought to life by Burton’s translation in stories such as ‘The Lovers of Bassorah’, ‘The Concubine of Al-Maamun’ and ‘The Hunchback’s Tale’.

Review: This book is not your average 1001 nights. High erotic content and racist remarks. Disappointed in this book.

Review: This book is exactly what I was looking for. it’s true that it doesn’t include the Aladdin or Sinbad stories, but they weren’t actually part of the original Arabian nights, so it makes sense. The book binding feels durable, the text size is pleasant – some other Collins books suffer from small text, which makes them hard to read. The paper is also pretty thick, so it wouldn’t tear easily if you somehow dropped the book

Review: A varied section of choice morsels from Burton’s Nights. Despite some complaints regarding the archaic vocabulary employed by Burton, it is still perfectly readable, although it is important to note this is not a volume aimed at children as it does feature more adult content. This is not explicit to a modern-day reader, although it was considered quite shocking by coy Victorians when originally published. The tales in this book are a tiny percentage of the stories translated by Burton for his extensive multi-volume collection but it gives the reader a taste of the further delights that await if they should seek after them.
