Book Description
What makes for an ideal slave-girl: beauty alone, or intelligence as well? Unfettered by political correctness, King Zinebi decides to settle the question by giving his vizir 10,000 gold pieces to buy the finest slave he can find. But when he purchases a beautiful, brilliant Persian girl, his son Noureddin inevitably falls in love with her. Now Noureddin and the fair Persian have only each other to cling to through tragedy, poverty, and courtly intrigues in this, the twenty-seventh of the 34 tales in the classic Arabian Nights collection, translated into English by Andrew Lang. A treasure-trove of timeless stories, the One Thousand and One Nights or Arabian Nights have been loved, imitated, and added to over many centuries. Similar to the fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, the Arabian Nights are drawn from the folklore of India, Iran and the Middle East, and were collected in Arabic versions throughout the medieval period; others were added as recently as the eighteenth century. These stories of the exotic East have been popularised for new generations by film adaptations such as Disney’s Aladdin, starring Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried in 1992, and Will Smith in 2019, and Dreamworks’ Sinbad, starring Brad Pitt and Michelle Pfeiffer. They continue to inspire writers as varied as Salman Rushdie and Neil Gaiman, while numerous Bollywood and manga versions attest to their popularity around the world. These stories of magic, adventure and romance have shaped readers’ imaginations for generations, and are sure to be retold for years to come. This selection was translated by Andrew Lang from the French versions by Antoine Galland, who was the first to include the stories of Aladdin and Ali Baba. Born in Scotland in 1844, Lang was a scholar of ancient Greek, a journalist, historian, novelist and poet, and the author of 25 popular collections of fairy tales; his edition of the Arabian Nights’ Entertainment was published in 1898. He became a Fellow of the British Academy in 1906, and died in 1912.

Book Description
Excerpt from The New Original Fairy Extravaganza: In Two Acts, Entitled Noureddin, and the Fair Persian, as Performed at the Princess's Theatre, Easter Monday, April 9th, 1849 Scene I. - A Fairy Lake - as usual, "by the light of the moon." Nemorella, Abborella, and Attendant Fairies. [Music - from the "Night Dancers." Nem. You know that, at this season of the year, It is our custom to assemble here, To talk of what is passing on the earth: You know that Persian girl, who, since her birth, Has been my protegee? Arb. Oh - what's her name? D'ye mean the young Nekayah? Nem. Yes; the same. Well, she was nourish'd once in Fortune's lap, But now has slipp'd from it, by some mishap. Fortune on earth is so extremely fickle, That now the girl is in a thorough pickle; But, as I've made a vow that I would serve her, I'll get her from the pickle, and preserve her. Arb. If by the slightest evil she's attack'd, I for her benefit will gladly act. Nem. Well, it appears the young Nekayah's blest With an old guardian, who's a perfect pest; And who desires, to prove his great affection, To take her thoroughly 'neath his protection. He made her presents; but was such a bore, She said at once she liked his absence more. With billets-doux he constantly beset her; So that he kept it up, e'en to the letter. His love was not return'd - his letters were; In fact, the man was driven to despair. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
