Type: COLLECTION
Language: English
Note:
- Arabian Nights parody
- The Pacha contains a frame story in which numerous stories are told. The frame story sometimes spans several pages and the 1834 review cited below covers the whole as a novel rather than a collection, albeit a novel that is worth praise only for the stories it contains.
- 1834 is correct for the first edition as a book (Philadelphia). [continued on the linked subpage]
- Published as a 20-part serial May 1831 to June 1835 in The Metropolitan Magazine #1 to #50, under serial headings such as (quote): The Pacha of Many Tales--No. V. By the author of "The King's Own." (v2, p317) and The Pasha of Many Tales--No. XIII. By the author of "The King's Own." (December 1831 and June 1834, viewed at HathiTrust). The spelling changes from "Pacha" to "Pasha" with an 's', in the text as well as the serial headings and volume index entries. Marryat edited The Metropolitan from sometime 1832 to sometime 1835. This serial publication overlapped those of four other Marryat novels, each in more than 12 consecutive monthly issues, and at least while editor he contributed short items also.

- Marryat's "first work of genre interest ... a Parody of the Arabian Nights (Arabian Fantasy) in which some Tall Tales of fantasy interest – the seven "Voyages of Huckaback" (Fantastic Voyages), several of them to mysterious Islands – are recounted to the entertainment-seeking pasha."
--SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy, biographical entry by John Clute.
