What is Gay Tales and Verses from the Arabian Nights about?

This book is an anthology exclusively of gay tales and verses excerpted from The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night rendered into English from the French translation of Dr. J.C. Mardrus, translated by Powys Mathers and with an Introduction by Dr. Henry M. Christman. There are all kinds of gay adventures here, with good guys and bad guys and good endings and bad endings, just as in real life. Imaginative and fanciful as they are, some stories may be closer to real life than we might immediately comprehend on first reading. There are lessons about life to be learned here. Mathers asserts: "Islamic indecency is excellent of its kind." The reader is sure to agree.
