About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Book of A Thousand Nights and a Night, Volume Three, translated by Richard Burton. This is a collection of stories collected over thousands of years by various authors, translators and scholars. They are an amalgam of mythology and folk tales from the Indian sub-continent, Persia, and Arabia. No original manuscript has ever been found for the collection, but several versions date the collection's genesis to somewhere between AD 800-900. The stories are wound together under the device of a long series of cliff-hangers told by Shahrazad to her husband Shahryar, to prevent him from executing her. Many tales that have become independently famous come from the Book, among them Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and the voyages of Sinbad the Sailor. This collection comes from the third of sixteen volumes translated by Burton. (Summary based on Wikipedia article) Details of the text source and readers are available on the LibriVox catalogue page for this item. Volumes One, Two and Four and Five are also available as LibriVox recordings.
