The Tales of the Thousand and One Nights with illustrations by Olga Dugina

King Shahryar was so afraid of female infidelity that he chose a new wife every night and executed her in the morning — so that no one could deceive him!
This went on for a long time, until he married the... wise Scheherazade.
At night, she told him such astonishing stories that the king eagerly awaited the continuation and postponed the cruel execution for another day…
"The Tales of the Thousand and One Nights" is a true monument of medieval Eastern culture, and the mystery of its origins remains unsolved by historians and literary scholars.
Stories of wonders and extraordinary adventures and the stunning illustrations by the famous artist Olga Dugina will transport the reader to the magical world of Eastern fairy tales!
