Sinbad the Sailor and Other Stories from the Arabian Nights by Laurence Housman, Edmund Dulac
marziesreads's review
4.0
I received a copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for a fair review.
This is a lovely edition, as the imaginative Dulac illustrations add so much to the story. The page designs alone are wonderful. Some aspects of the stories seem to be stereotypical, but the book itself is so lovely, really one can't complain. This brought back rich memories of listening to stories from the Arabian Nights enjoyed in my childhood.
Whoever did the summary has provided incorrect information. Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves is not in this short selection from A Thousand Nights and One Night.
Kindle readers- this Dover edition is an absolute steal at $2.99, although I'd want turn pages and feel the paper with this book!
