My two collections of the Arabian Nights. What I've read of these tales, I've loved!
Thanks for hosting and creating a great playlist @vivastory! And for always being an excellent host and queen of the emoji @Cinfhen ! It's been fun!

Reviewsbylola Wow, those are both awesome looking editions! 6y
LeahBergen Are they resting on your flying carpet? 😉 I was obsessed with the notion of a flying carpet as a kid and used to “travel” on our living room area rug with stacks of books. Hmm... I think I was a strange child. 😆 6y
merelybookish @Reviewsbylola Thanks! It's fun how they have a similar pose. Kind of makes me want to collect some more editions. 🙂 6y

merelybookish @LeahBergen Yes, my fancy IKEA magic carpet. 😀 Flying carpets were up there with secret passageways and quicksand! (And you sound like a very imaginative kid, like maybe you read a lot. 😉) 6y
Cinfhen That‘s the best compliment I‘ve gotten in ages.... 🙏🏻👑💃🏽💋 6y

I fell in love with The Arabian Nights after teaching a class on World Literature up to the 16th century. Students found them fascinating, too. They are full of magic, intrigue, sex, betrayal, riches, and morals.
One of my someday projects would be to read them all. #nevergoingtohappen.

SusanInTiburon Oh, what wonderful covers! 8y
merelybookish @SusanInTiburon They are pretty! I didn't realise how similar they were in composition until today. 8y
MariaW We read some of them in school too. Loved them as well. 😍 There are some movies... 8y
