What is Tales from the Arabian nights about?

The Tales from the Arabian Nights are some of the best-loved stories in the world. Originating in Persia, India, and Arabia, they were the daily entertainment of the common people. Now N.J. Dawood has retold them in a fresh new translation especially for children. Here in their authentic form are the tales that every child should have the pleasure of reading -- "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," "The Ebony Horse," "Sinbad the Sailor." Tales of jinn and magicians and mythical beasts, they are also tales of ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary situations. It is said that Shahrazad kept her husband, the King, enthralled with these tales for a thousand and one nights, and thus used her narrative skill to win her life from him. With Ed Young's stunning full-color illustrations, modern readers will find these same tales as vivid and as entertaining as they were over a thousand years ago.
