Burton is a renowned collection of Middle Eastern folk tales, compiled during the late 19th century. This volume continues the enchanting narratives that present a rich panorama of magical tales featuring princes, magical creatures, love, and adventure. The stories often revolve around central characters such as King Sabur and his daughter, who navigate the trials posed by sorcerers and magical artifacts, including the mystical ebony horse. The opening portion of this volume introduces the tale of King Sabur, a ruler of great wealth and benevolence, who receives extraordinary gifts from three wise men—an Indian, a Greek, and a Persian. Among these is a remarkable ebony horse capable of flying, which ultimately leads to the trial of the king's family. Sabur promises his daughter's hand to the makers of these wondrous gifts, igniting a tale of love, jealousy, and adventure as his daughter, the beautiful Princess, refuses the union with an old magician and seeks solace from her brother, Kamar al-Akmar. Set against a backdrop of magical realism, the story unfolds with themes of passion, sacrifice, and transformation, underscoring the captivating nature of the story within the larger framework of the Arabian Nights.
