Burton added SO MANY THINGS. You cannot trust him! (One of the things he added: extra sex. Another of the things he added: extra racism. Classy, dude....)

Lullilooing! That is SO FANTASTIC. Well, Burton's strategy WAS to use basically any word that had ever been used in any variety of the English language, and stuff them all together into his own madcap version of English. Okay, going right now to go read Burton's version of that story!

Yes, the 1001 Nights are VERY complicated . I have not even come close to talking about all its complexity yet! Egads. Whyyyy did I want to study it again? (oh right, because it's fascinating!)
