nor quite folkore is another great Persian work translated by Burton. I love teh Arabian Nights! It's so funny I ran across this, I've been reading them for the past 3 (nope, not even close to 1001) nights. Burtons' notes add so much if you can get an edition that includes them.

In response to The Perfumed Garden (Though Not for Children) posted by Astrology72:

That does sound fantastic! I am enjoying reading the Arabian nights as well. The stories are so captivating and funny.

It's a common misconception that just because something is folklore that it is for children. The Arabian nights is a prime example of that. It's a great book but I would give it a PG rating.

Thanks for the tip I will have to check it out.
