One Thousand and One Nights (Arabic: كتاب ألف ليلة وليلة Kitāb alf laylah wa-laylah) is a collection of West and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment.

What an incredible gift of storytelling!
Terrible translation
This is a terrible "translation". It's more like the person read 1001 nights once then wrote a similar story, but made it a children's book. Highly un-recommended unless you want a bad abridged version.
Good pleasant read
Other translations seem to have a lot of formality and jargon. This one gets right down to storytelling for all ages. I disagree with some of the negative reviews. Yes its a classic work, but its a work of stories deigned to keep people interested. So here it is presented in a fun read! What more can you want!
