One Hundred and One Nights (book)
One Hundred and One Nights () is a book of Arab literature consisting of twenty stories, which presents many similarities to the more famous "One Thousand and One Nights".
François Pétis de la Croix
He also wrote "The Thousand and One Days" (), a collection of fairy tales based on the model of "One Thousand and One Nights". It was published in five volumes between 1710 and 1712. He supposedly translated it from a Persian compilation titled "Hazar u yek ruz" (, "A Thousand and One Days") which he acquired from one 'Dervish Mocles' or 'Moklas' in Isfahan in 1675. It is unclear how much of this is true, and how much of the collection was actually invented by Pétis de la Croix himself. In any event, stories from the collection inspired other works including Carlo Gozzi's "Il re cervo" ("The King Stag") and "Turandot".
