Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Arabian Nights, Their Best-known Tales by Nora Archibald Smith.Perhaps little excuse is needed for any new selection of the famous "Tales of a Thousand and One Nights," provided it is representative and dignified enough to enlist a new army of youth readers. Of the two hundred and sixty-four baffling and unparalleled stories, the true lover can barely forgive one, but there must always be favorites, even among these. We have chosen some of the most delicious, in our opinion; some, too, that particularly attracted the genius of the artist. If, attracted by our choice and the beauty of the images, we managed to attract a few thousand more true lovers to the source book, we will have done our humble turn. The only real danger lies in neglecting it, raising a child who does not know it and who has never fallen under his spell.Nora Archibald Smith (1859-1934) was an American children's author of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and sister of Kate Douglas Wiggin. Nora and Kate were co-authors and co-publishers of a series of children's books. Both sisters actively participated in the kindergarten movement that was developing in the early 20th century, and wrote repeatedly on the subject. They were admirers of Friedrich Fröbel.

Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.
