Islamic literature
The best known fiction from the Islamic world is "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights" ("Arabian Nights"), a compilation of many earlier folk tales set in a frame story of being told serially by the Persian Queen Scheherazade. The compilation took form in the 10th century and reached its final form by the 14th century; the number and type of tales have varied from one manuscript to another. All Arabian fantasy tales were often called "Arabian Nights" when translated into English, regardless of whether they appeared in any version of "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights", and a number of tales are known in Europe as "Arabian Nights" despite existing in no Arabic manuscript.
