And to these, again, there are to be added many of the heroes and heroines who figure in the Thousand-and-one Nights--such, for example, as Aladdin, and Sindbad, and Ali Baba, and the Forty Thieves, and the Enchanted Horse, and the Fairy Peri Banou.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
