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.

Everyone needs to have this gorgeous book on their shelf. Beautiful from the first page to the last, and wonderful stories too. A classic.

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.
