The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night, Volume III by John Payne
"The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night, Volume III" by John Payne is a translation published in the late 19th century. This volume continues the legendary Middle Eastern folktales framed by Scheherazade's nightly storytelling to King Shahryar. The collection weaves together adventure, magic, romance, and philosophy through stories featuring jinn, sorcerers, historical figures, and legendary places. Tales range from love stories to science fiction elements, including underwater civilizations and cosmic
journeys. Each night, Scheherazade strategically pauses at cliffhangers to postpone her execution and survive another day. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
