Note to parent: I have not read this version of The Arabian Nights yet, however it has been reviewed on Amazon, where multiple parental reviewers note that this version is not completely sanitized (dead body counts and some violence remain) but much of the book has been heavily abridged to make it appropriate for children, with inappropriate content removed. This is a book of middle-eastern myths, and there are references to Allah in some of the stories.
