Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Arabian Nights: Select Tales, Not Included by Galland or Lane When Galland translated the "Thousand and One Nights," he had only a small portion of the original work before him; and as all the English editions now obtainable, except that of Lane, are simply translated from Galland´s version, they are equally incomplete. The masterly edition of Mr. Lane, made from the best Egyptian editions, would, however, leave nothing to be desired if he had not been limited for space, which forced him to omit several highly interesting stories. Again, different versions of the original book include very different tales, and therefore it occurred to the Editor of the present volume that a series of the best fairy tales which Galland and Lane have not included, might not be uninteresting to English readers; and should this volume be favourably received, ample materials exist for a second series of equal interest, without touching the stones which are, properly speaking, novelettes rather than fairy tales.
