"The Arabian Nights," also known as "One Thousand and One Nights," is a collection of Middle Eastern folktales, fables, and stories. The framing story involves a Persian king, Shahryar, who discovers his wife's infidelity and, consumed by anger, resolves to marry a new virgin each night and have her executed the following morning. Scheherazade, the vizier's daughter, volunteers to be the king's next bride.
