'The most famous product of Arabian literature: a large
collection of entertaining tales of unknown origin. The stories
of Aladdin, of Sindbad the Sailor, of Ali Baba and the Forty
Thieves, and many others, are as well known to English people
of every age as any stories from their native literature.'
The influence of these stories on English literature is
incalculable.
