Supplemental Nights to the Book of the Thousand and One Nights — Volume 6 (of 6)

A freshly assembled volume gathers some of the most whimsical and inventive stories that slipped beyond the classic series of Arabian Nights. Alongside the narratives, scholarly annotations illuminate the cultural and linguistic background of each tale, allowing listeners to hear the folklore through a modern, yet respectfully historical, lens.

The collection moves from the sage Haykar’s riddles to the mischievous warlock and a young Baghdad cook, from a clever fox outwitting a boastful cock to the tragic romance of Prince Habib and Lady Durrat al‑Ghawwas. Brief, vivid episodes like the “Linguist‑Dame” and the quirky fable of the cock and the fox showcase the liveliness that made these stories endure for centuries.

Because this volume is part of a limited, privately printed series, it offers a rare glimpse into the scholarly traditions that have kept these centuries‑old tales alive. Listeners will enjoy a rich tapestry of humor, moral twists, and cultural insight, all presented with the cadence of classic oral storytelling.
