Detmold is usually given as author here but he did the illustrations; I have no idea where the text came from (have been searching for translator but not yet found).

This edition contains nine of the most famous of the 'Tales from the One Thousand and One Nights', originally told by Scheherezade to her murderous husband - to keep herself alive she would always stop at a moment of cliff-hanging excitement. The adventures of 'Aladdin', 'Ali Baba and the forty Thieves' and 'Sindbad the Sailor' are made more vivid by Detmold's beautiful paintings.
