In this series of In the Great Khan’s Tent I will be reading “The Thousand and One Nights” or commonly referred to as the “Arabian Nights”. Two translations will be used as the basis of this podcast, the four volume “The Thousand on One Nights: The Arabian Nights Entertainment” translated by Edward William Lane and Stanley Lane-Poole and the 3 volume “Tales from the Arabic of the Breslau and Calcutta Editions of the Book” by John Payne.
