The Arabian Nights By Andrew Lang PDF Free Download
The Arabian Nights Selected and Edited by Andrew Lang. Alif Laila Dastan (stories) in the English language. The stories in the Fairy books have generally been such as old women in country places tell to their grandchildren. Nobody knows how old they are or who told them first.
The children of Ham, Shem, and Japhet may have listened to them in the Ark on wet days. Hector’s little boy may have heard them in Troy Town, for it is inevitable that Homer knew them and that some of them were written down in Egypt about the time of Moses.
People in different countries tell them differently, but they are always the same stories, whether among little Zulus at the cape or little Eskimo Near the North Pole. The changes or talking bears in the cold countries. There are plenty of kings and queens in the fairy tales, just because long ago, there were plenty of kings in the country.
