Before You Begin

Before you begin.

This LitLab edition presents The Tale of Kamar al-Zaman as a single illustrated reading experience drawn from the Burton translation of The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night. The story moves through royal chambers, enchanted meetings, sea roads, disguises, separations, and recognitions, so the visual companion is designed to help the reader keep track of people, places, objects, and turning points without changing the public-domain text.

The illustrations, recaps, relationship plates, world plates, and story medallions are original editorial material created for this edition.
