也叫《天方夜谭》，是阿拉伯文字中的瑰宝。传说阿拉伯古代有一个国王，每天娶一个女子，第二天早上就把她杀了。有一个姑娘要阻止他这种残忍的做法，自愿做他的一夜王后。进入王宫后，她就开始给国王讲故事，讲到紧要关头，行刑时间到了，国王正听得津津有味，就说：过一天再杀吧。可是故事一个接一个讲下去，每次要杀她时故事都到了“欲知后事如何，且听下回分解”的节骨眼上，国王为了听故事，只好一天天延迟杀她的时间。就这样，故事一直讲了一千零一夜，国王终于改掉了他的可怕做法，她从此成为长久的王后。这就是“一千零一夜“的来由。她讲的故事能如此吸引那位国王，当然是非常动听的。确实，像《阿里巴巴和四十大盗》、《神灯》、《辛巴德航海历险记》这些故事早已传遍全世界。

Through the Looking-Glass（爱丽丝漫游镜中世界） 立即阅读
I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole ...without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Charles Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. His dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a disordered tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen. But amongst the anarchic humour and sparkling word play, puzzles, paradoxes and riddles, are poignant moments of elegiac nostalgia for lost childhood. Startlingly original and experimental, the Alice books provide readers with a double window on both child and adult worlds.
