Stories from the Arabian Nights
Laurence Housman
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Scheherazadè, the heroine of the Thousand and one Nights, ranks among the great story-tellers of the world but the great quantity of her stories were meant to stave off her death and so we can expect a few to be not of the best quality. The six stories chosen here to be retold by Laurence Housman however, are some of the very best to be had among all of them. They are beautifully written and deserve to be 'told' by readers who enjoy telling stories. - Summary by Phil Chenevert (2 hr 47 min)

WORST AUDIO EVER
kelseykyla
the narrator has the most boring voice I have ever heard. I wish he would stop droning on and on. it is more of a lullaby that would probably haunt me in my sleep. if that is the way you sound like when you read in your head then I am very sorry your life sucks
