The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night — Volume 05 (of 10)

Note 507 — THE QUEEN OF THE SERPENTS.[507]

Richard Francis Burton translation

This long story, containing sundry episodes and occupying fifty-three Nights, is wholly omitted by Lane (ii. 643) because “it is a compound of the most extravagant absurdities.” He should have enabled his readers to form their own judgment.
