Features: "One Thousand and One Nights," also known as "Arabian Nights," is a collection of Arabic folk tales. Handwritten manuscripts emerged around the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries, and after spreading across India, Persia, Iraq, Egypt, and other regions for hundreds of years, it was compiled in the late 15th or early 16th century. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the diverse peoples of the Middle East and Near East. "One Thousand and One Nights," with its vibrant colors, fantastical imagination, intricate plots, bold and almost absurd exaggeration, and interlocking structure, has given the stories an enduring vitality. "One Thousand and One Nights" is an excellent literary work cherished and familiar to people around the world. The great literary master Maxim Gorky called it a "magnificent monument in the realm of folk oral creation." This book is part of the "Essential Stories of 'One Thousand and One Nights'" series. The three stories in this book are carefully selected from "One Thousand and One Nights" for their representativeness and influence. Accompanied by exquisite color illustrations and Pinyin annotations, each story is followed by a maze game.
