The Arabian Nights Entertainments. First Lang edition, produced in the same attractive format as his Fairy Book series, which "provided a benchmark in fantasy illustration" (Grolier). The illustrator of Lang's books, Henry Justice Ford, "concentrated on legends and folklore as subjects to illustrate and mixed carefully observed objects from the real world with fantasy creatures from an imaginary world in a very convincing way" (Houfe, p. 140).
