Description
The Thousand and One Nights — The Merchant and the Genie and the Three Old Men
A merchant who has unwittingly killed a jinni's son is ransomed, life for life, by three old men — each of whom buys a third of his pardon with a story stranger than the offence. The opening cycle of the Nights, complete.
Fresh in-house rendering from John Payne's translation, The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night (1882–84).
