For the past two hundred years, Western readers, young and old alike, have been transported to the fabulous Orient by means of these remarkable stories, in which the everyday mingles on an equal footing with the uncanny and the miraculous. It is not clear who compiled the text in this volume, but accompanying the text are illustrations by W. Heath Robinson, which are themselves miracles of visual and imaginative sympathy.
