The Thousand and One Nights — Illustrated Edition

Enter a world of enchanted palaces, wandering spirits, extraordinary journeys and stories within stories.

For centuries, The Thousand and One Nights has transported readers into a universe where merchants encounter supernatural beings, rulers walk the streets in disguise, fortunes change overnight, and one story opens the door to another.

This beautifully illustrated edition from Evergreen Classics brings these legendary tales to life through atmospheric original artwork inspired by the mystery, architecture and imagination of the world of the Nights.

A Timeless World of Storytelling

At the heart of The Thousand and One Nights is one of literature's greatest storytellers: Scheherazade.

Night after night, she tells a story to King Shahryar—but leaves each tale unfinished as dawn approaches.

His desire to hear what happens next keeps her alive for another night.

From this unforgettable premise unfolds an extraordinary labyrinth of stories: adventures, romances, supernatural encounters, moral tales, transformations and unexpected reversals of fortune.

Stories exist inside other stories.

Characters become storytellers themselves.

And every night promises another journey.

A Classic Reimagined Through Illustration

The Nights have inspired artists and readers for generations.

Evergreen Classics returns to that visual tradition with a new illustrated presentation designed for modern digital reading.

Throughout the edition, original artwork accompanies memorable characters, mysterious encounters and fantastical settings, creating a reading experience in which literature and illustration become part of the same journey.

Tales of Wonder, Mystery and Adventure

Scheherazade survives not through strength or wealth, but through her ability to make another human being want to hear one more story.
