520    "A groundbreaking translation-along with new commentary 
       and hundreds of images-enhances this celebratory 
       publication of the most famous story collection of all 
       time. Starting in 1999 with the publication of The 
       Definitive Annotated Alice, the Norton and Liveright 
       annotated books have become the leading series of classic,
       illustrated works in the English language. The long-
       anticipated publication of The Annotated Arabian Nights 
       extends this tradition with a strikingly modern 
       translation-the first of Shahrazad's tales into English by
       a woman-as well as erudite notes that will illuminate the 
       stories for both dedicated readers and newcomers. Yasmine 
       Seale's translations from both Arabic and French capture 
       the musicality and rhythm of the Nights' poetry and prose,
       while Paulo Lemos Horta's annotations wrestle with the 
       extraordinarily complex origins and history of the stories,
       showing that, far from being inventions of French 
       antiquarians or English explorers, they have clear 
       antecedents in Arabic folklore and tradition. This 
       stunningly illustrated edition selects core stories as 
       well as treasured later additions such as "Aladdin" and 
       "Ali Baba" to offer an unparalleled account of a 
       cornerstone of world literature that can be treasured by 
       children, students, and literature-lovers alike"--
