'A splendid and constantly entertaining book...it's amazing how good and seductive Irwin's selections are. It gives the nicest of pleasures, a guide round deeply unfamiliar ground by an amused, literate companion, someone who knows exactly what he is talking about' - Philip Henscher, The Spectator 'A treasure-chest filled with some priceless gems quarried from 11 centuries of Arabic literature, with valuable commentaries and explanations provided by its compiler. Robert Irwin has produced a volume which is both a joy to read and enhances our knowledge of Islamo-Arab culture...It deserves a place in every Western library.' - Tariq Ali, Financial Times
