ugh finally
(I had to read this book for school)
I guess you might like this book if you have a bigger character

While the book had a beautiful ending, I think that this adaptation didn't really sit well with me, partly because of the many Europeanisations. I suspect that a better translation , or a longer adaptation, or just reading it in the original once I've learned those languages better.

A good collection of short Arabian fairy tales, a few of which were very familiar like the Arabian Cinderella with an anklet instead of a slipper!

This was a fun classic to read with the kids. We enjoyed all the tales.

Another excellent book for children that is not dumbed down. The writing was excellent, with just enough challenge for kids without being too hard. There were quite a few parts that left me chuckling that I'm sure went right over my daughter's head. I had read quite a few of these stories before, but there were still some I hadn't heard. I definitely didn't mind having to read this along with my daughter for school.

I quit reading this one. Not because it wasn't good but because there are other things I want to read right now and I wasn't progressing. I might revisit it later but one thing I have learned is that just because you haven't read it doesn't mean you have to.

Eu am citit cartea “1001 DE NOPȚI ARABE” de GeraldineMcCaughrean de la editura ALLFA din colecția Mituri și legende ale lumii. Copyright 2002 ALLFA.
În original “ONE THOUSAND AND ONE ARABIAN NIGHTS” Retold by Geraldine McCaughrean Copyright Oxford University Press, 1982.
Nu am găsit această carte pe Goodreads așa că am decis să carchez o carte similară.
Tocmai ce am observat: cartea pe care am marcat-o pe Goodreads este aproape aceeași carte cu cea pe care am citit-o doar că coperta este diferită penru că este altă ediție. Nu cred că sunt aceleași povești în cartea de pe Goodreads și în cartea pe care am citit-o (pentru că este o altă ediție).
Apropo, cartea mea este semnată de mama.

This book was absolutely beautiful and spell binding. The descriptive language of the author made my heart leap and fall and I was nearly crying by the end.

These stories were a lot of fun to read, and it was interesting to see how they have been incorporated into popular culture in various ways. I also really enjoyed this version, because I felt that it did a good job representing the culture while also making it accessible to the modern reader.
