stories known around the world

This is a good translation of the 1000 and 1 nights. This item is only one volume of three, however, so make sure of which of the volumes you want if you are not getting all three.

best translation

I did a lot of research AFTER buying the original translation, which was almost impossible to get through. The Lyons translation flows so smoothly and is so enjoyable, I can now read it with pleasure and remember my childhood when I was first introduced to 1001 Nights.
