1930s Stories from The Arabian Nights/Housman/Dulac This is a nice old hardcover book containing 171 pages published I believe in the 1930s as it was mine as a child and is from the same time frame as another book that I have listed-(All The Mowgli Stories) and that is dated 1936. The page that lists this information is torn out as is one of the last pages but the stories are all complete! Also, Doubleday is most likely the publisher! There is a beautiful illustration in full color by Edmund Dulac on one of the first pages-his signature is in the lower left. The pages are yellowed and some of the corners have been bent over, also pulling away from the spine which I have shown. Definitely shows useage-my brothers and I read it quite a few times in the 1940s/50s! Thanks for looking!
