We’re studying Module 4 – the Middle Ages this year and are about to go on a road trip and was wondering if this would be suitable (if so, what version). I am totally unfamiliar with the tales.
Thoughts?

I noticed that Ambleside recommends Andrew Lang’s version at the 3 1/2 level:http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=lang&book=arabian&story=_contents
and at Amazon you can get the book or audio version:http://www.amazon.com/Arabian-Nights-Entertainments-Classic-Reprint/dp/1440095221/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280845084&sr=8-1
The reviews at the bottom said the sexual and bawdy stuff is out, just the body counts are left!
I have the Mary and Charles Lamb version but can’t seem to find it anywhere. I inherited it from my childhood, along with the Tales from Shakespeare.

Oh yes, and Jim Weiss has an audio version he created for ages 5 and up, so that’s a definitely cleaned up version, plus very entertaining since it’s him:http://www.greathall.com/products/arabiannights.html
If you go to Amazon, you can probably find it for less or under the used section.
