Worth the exposure of ancient story telling
Reviewed: 03-24-22
I was curious of Arabian folk lore. It was hard to finish the various story lines. I was curious of reported sexual topics or practices mentioned by historians. This book had very little sexualization of any scenes that would offend most modern readers. The knowledge I gained was the sexist or enslavement of females to satisfy the needs of men. The reader did an excellent. I don't plan to try any future readings on this book. Like learning Geometry to learn mathematical proofs, once was enough to fill that square of exposure.
