Nowhere else will you find such marvels, nowhere else will you find the impossible so real and convincing. For centuries The Arabian Nights has enchanted readers. These stories are presented here in a clear and direct style that renders them as fresh and as exciting as when they were first told.

Pleasant recounting of the Arabian Nights
This audiobook was supreme. It was of the desired length of an Arabian Nights audiobook.
A listener has to be an enthusiastic person to
follow this audiobook as it does require certain attention. The favourites of Sinbad, Aladdin and Ali Baba are here. The narrator was marvellous and her narration was top notch. This audiobook wasn't as good as the Arabian Nights dramatisation also available on Audible but those editions were missing the story of Aladdin in their entirety
anyway. This audiobook was enjoyable and appealing right to the very end.

Voz Estridente
as histórias são muito boas, mas a voz que conta é terrivelmente estridente, me fazendo ficar com dor de cabeça em alguns momentos

Well-Written and Crisply-Delivered
The language of this 1909 translation is formal and sometimes a little archaic - the enjoyment of which rather depends on taste. I didn’t find it detracted, and the stories are well-told, and the narrator is crisp, intelligent and even in her delivery. The selection of tales is nice and varied, including longer and shorter stories, some better-known and some less common.
Chapter 1 - The Talking Bird, the Singing Tree and the Golden Water
Chapter 2 - The Fisherman and the Genie; The Young King of the Black Isles
Chapter 3 - Gulnare of the Sea
Chapters 4 & 5 - Aladdin
Chapter 6 - Prince Agib
Chapter 7 - The City of Brass
Chapter 8 - Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves; Codadad and His Brothers
Chapter 9 - Sinbad the Voyager
