The fair slave was, by the kings commands, immediately brought in. and no sooner had the king beheld a lady whose beauty and grace surpassed anything he had ever imagined, than he fell passionately in love with her, and determined to marry her at once. This was done. So the king caused the fair slave to be lodged in the next finest apartment to his own, and gave particular orders to the matrons and the women-slaves appointed to attend her, that they should dress her in the richest robe they could find, and carry her the finest pearl necklaces, the brightest diamonds, and other the richest precious stones, that she might choose those she liked best. The King of Persia scapital was situated in an island ;and his palace, which was very magnificent, was built upon the sea-shore ;his window looked towards the sea ;and the fair slave s, which was pretty near it, had also the same prospect, and it was the more pleasant on account of the seas beating almost against the foot of the wall. At the end of three days the fair slave, magnificently dressed, was alone in her chamber, sitting upon a sofa, and leaning against one of the windows that faced the sea, when the king, being informed that he might visit her, came in. The slave hearing somebody walk in the room, immediately turned her head to see who it was. She knew him to be the king ;but without showing the least surprise, or so much as rising from her seat to salute or receive him, she turned back to the window again as if he had been the most insignificant person in the world. The King of Persia was extremely surprised to see a slave of so beauteous a form so very

Description du livre Buch. Etat : Neu. Batten, John D (illustrateur). nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This collection, Fairy Tales from the Arabian Nights presents a re-telling of some classic Middle Eastern and South Asian folk tales by E. Dixon - beautifully illustrated by John D. Batten. Whilst the narratives differ greatly in their origins, characters, and motifs - they all stem from the initial 'frame story' of the ruler Shahry¿r, and his wife Scheherazade. She tells a different tale each night, never revealing the ending - in order that the King may spare her life. Tales within this book include: 'The King of Persia and the Princess of the Sea', 'Prince Beder and the Princess Giauhara', The Three Princes and Princess Nouronnihar', 'Prince Ahmed and the Fairy', 'Prince Camaralzaman and the Princess of China', 'The Loss of the Talisman', ' The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor' and others. John Dickson Batten (1860-1932) was a British painter, illustrator and print maker,who was a leading light in the Art Nouveau movement. He illustrated a series of fairy tale books written by Joseph Jacobs as well as this English language version of Arabian Nights, and Dante's Inferno. His illustrations are strongly influenced by the printmakers of Japan and are characterised by an intense romanticism and refined technique. Presented alongside this text, Batten's enchanting creations serve to further refine and enhance the classic Arabian storytelling. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's classics and fairy tales - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.
