Note 498 — THE MERCHANT’S DAUGHTER AND THE PRINCE OF AL-IRAK[498]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Again the old, old story of the “Acrisian maid,” and a prose variant of “Yusuf and Al-Hayfa” for which see vol. v. p. 123. I must note the difference of treatment and may observe that the style is rough and the incidents are unfinished, but it has the stuff of an excellent tale.
