Burton is a collection of ancient tales and stories, likely compiled during the late 19th century. This volume serves as an extension to the famous "One Thousand and One Nights," presenting various adventures and anecdotes, often featuring themes of deception, love, and wit amidst a backdrop of historical Islamic settings and characters. The opening portion introduces a segment titled "Supplemental Nights," with tales revolving around the deeds and exploits of the police constables in Cairo under the rule of King Al-Malik Al-Zahir Rukn al-Din Bibars. The narrative begins with the King expressing an interest in hearing the cleverness of women and their cunning tactics, leading to the assembly of constables sharing remarkable stories of their encounters with women, thieves, and the humorous outcomes of their misadventures. The tales are rich in character interactions and often follow a narrative structure that highlights the unexpected twists and comic resolutions faced by the characters involved, setting the tone for a series of entertaining and morally insightful stories.
