The magical world of oriental fairy tales enchants and beckons, like the sound of an ancient lute. Fascinating stories about enchanted caves, magic lamps and flying carpets - the most famous fairy tales of the Thousand and One Nights — were illustrated by the wonderful St. Petersburg artist Alexei Dmitrievich Reipolsky. Over the decades of his creative activity, Alexey Dmitrievich has proved himself to be a very versatile artist working in various types and techniques of fine art. But he gained wide fame and recognition primarily as a master of book illustration. His works are kept in many museums of the country, in the State Hermitage Museum, the State Russian Museum, as well as private collections in Russia and abroad.
