One Thousand and One Nights

11878
One Thousand and One Nights stands out as a far-reaching collection of over two and a half years of continuous storytelling, a veritable onion that readers can peel off, layer after layer, and read deeper into more enticing stories. The frame story of Shahryar, Scheherazade, and its core group of stories date from the 8th or 9th century CE. This page shows how we are still adding to these stories and reinterpreting them today, and how vital storytelling remains to our modern global culture.
