*New Arabian Nights

New Arabian Nights -Robert Louis Stevenson
Wholly without the charm, wisdom, ancestry, longevity, vibrancy or wit of the “old” Arabian Nights. The pleasure mostly came from imagining Borges so enjoying them as a boy. I suppose there may be a place for these tales, resting in historical literary scholarship, obscure theses, or middle childhood.
