THE ARABIAN NIGHTS THE ARABIAN NIGHTS THEIR BEST-KNOWN TALES EDITED BY KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN AND NORA A. SMITH ILLUSTRATED BY MAXFIELD PARRISH NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS MCMIX Copyright, 1909, by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS Published October, 1909 PREFACE _Little excuse is needed, perhaps, for any fresh selection from the famous "Tales of a Thousand and One Nights," provided it be representative enough, and worthy enough, to enlist a new army of youthful readers.
Of the two hundred and sixty-four bewildering, unparalleled stories, the true lover can hardly spare one, yet there must always be favourites, even among these.
We have chosen some of the most delightful, in our opinion; some, too, that chanced to appeal particularly to the genius of the artist.
