The vengeful King Schahriar agrees to stave off the execution of Queen Scheherazade until she finishes a particularly compelling story. Her plan? Bleed one tale into another. Through fanciful histories, romances, tragedies, comedies, poems, riddles, and songs, Scheherazade prolongs her life by holding the king’s rapt attention.
With origins in Persian and Eastern Indian folklore, the stories of The Arabian Nights have been reworked, reshaped, revised, collected, and supplemented throughout the centuries by various authors and scholars - and are continually redefined by the modern translations of the Western world.
AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Arabian Nights, this edition of The Arabian Nights (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

In fact, it was wonderful finally in my life to hear the true accounts of Sinbad and Aladdin and so many others.
The narration, too, is of a high quality.
But I have two basic beefs:
1) The classification ought to be by story, not by “chapter.” Chapter? What? This made it very hard to stop and start and know where one is in the course of listening.
2) I followed the plots with study guides and learned a deep, dark secret about this edition: several stories are often cropped and actually not allowed to be completed as they actually were originally written. Disappointing. Very disappointing.
Yet, many were entirely satisfactory, making this a good overall experience at a basic level.
Great Stories; Somewhat Botched Execution, Though
