Rebecca tells a sick girl the story of Aladdin from what seems to be a pocket version of the 1001 Nights. She added that Sinbad was her favorite tale from the book. Besides it being improbable that such a book format existed then, "Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp", "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and "The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor", while almost certainly genuine Middle Eastern folk tales, were not part of The 1001 Nights in Arabic versions, but were added into the collection by Antoine Galland and other European translators in the 17th century.
