Readable collection of stories, drawn mostly from the primary story arc (that is, the actual Scherezade framing story) and a number of the most familiar stories. The language does not interfere with the tales in the way that Burton's does. ( )

Disambiguation notice
STOP! This is volume 2 of an abridged adaptation by Jack Zipes of the Burton translation. Please DO NOT combine abridgments unless they have the same ISBN or you have confirmed they are exactly the same work with the same contents and translator/editor. Please DO NOT combine abridgments with complete works. If you see abridgments and complete sets/editions combined together, please help by separating them. If in doubt, please DO NOT combine. Especially not when combining large numbers of copies. It takes a lot of time and effort to separate and recombine works.
