With the appearance at the beginning of the XVIII century of the French translation by A. Gallan of the famous Arabic collection of fairy tales "1001 Nights", the book becomes a favorite for European readers. It, on the one hand, bizarrely intertwines the magical world with the human world, and on the other — offers interesting stories from the life of the Philistines and the Caliph's entourage, full of complex intriguing adventures. However, there are also many" Arabic fairy tales " in addition to those that can be read in the collection. their existence is largely exclusively oral. Some fairy tales are kept in the family memory of grandmothers, mothers and nannies, while others make up the oral repertoire of professional storytellers on the streets. The best impression of this national heritage can be obtained from folklore records of the late XIX — early XX centuries. such fairy tales, proverbs and sayings were recorded in Lebanese villages and Beirut by Agatangel Krymsky during a business trip to the East (1896-1898). The collection of fairy tales offered to the reader is a translation and literary processing in Ukrainian of Arabic texts collected by A. Krymsky
