London: Hodder and Stoughton,, [1913]. Nothing more purely beautiful has ever come even from Dulac's fairy brush Signed limited edition, number 346 of 750 copies signed by the artist. A review in The Bookman stated that, "Scherazade's romance of Badoura, the beautiful Princess of China... supplies Edmund Dulac with a subject exactly suited to his gracious, exquisitely delicate art". The Athenaeum found in the tale "a rootlet of later Persian feminism". Hughey notes that Dulac "altered his style" for this book in order "to follow that of Chinese painting. The result is a very new, but mature style, most subtle in both design and colours. None of his work before or after was quite like it". A review in The Outlook stated "nothing more purely beautiful has ever come even from Dulac's fairy brush than the picture of Badoura in the arms of Camaralzaman against a background so exquisite as to make one hold one's breath".
