内容简介

The tales contained in this unique collection were translated and taken down soon after the Second World War by C. G. Campbell, a major in the British army. Major Campbell was not just a soldier but also an Arabist who took a great interest in the life and culture of the Arabs. At the time of this collection's publication, the well known writer and Middle East expert of the time, H. St. John Philby, described the tales as "A work which can fairly be called a masterpiece."
