Mackenzie's most desired work, his interpretation of the classic Middle Eastern folktale set in China, traditionally incorporated into European translations of the Arabian Nights. The in-text illustrations are beautifully reproduced due to the high quality of the paper. This is a lavish illustrated version of Aladdin in English, and one of the most sought from the Golden Age.
