This beautiful hardback edition brings together Andrew Lang's selection of 26 tales taken from One Thousand and One Nights, luxuriously presented with gold cover embossing and gilded page edges.

Every tale will weave its own spell on readers as they dip into an enchanted land where Aladdin discovers a genie held captive in a magic lamp, Sinbad sets sail on a series of fantastic voyages and surprising heroes and magic creatures reveal hidden depths of bravery and ingenuity.

Augmented with H J Lord's charming illustrations and pretty printed endpapers, this hardback compendium with gilded edges and ivory pages is a true keepsake and will grace any discerning book-lover's shelves.

Andrew Lang was a prolific collector of folk and fairytales as well as being a poet, novelist and critic. Born in Scotland, he was educated at the Universities of St Andrews and Oxford. Best known for his 'Fairy Books', which each included a color in their titles, he also collaborated on translations of Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey and produced popular biographies of historical figures, such as Sir Walter Scott, plus other collections of stories for children. Alongside his writing, Lang took a strong interest in anthropology, psychic research and spiritualism, but his versatility as a writer earned him his reputation as one of the 19th and early 20th centuries' best-loved storytellers.
