One Thousand and One Nights One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of folk tales and other stories . It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights , from the first English language edition ( 1706 ) , which rendered the title as " The Arabian Nights ' Entertainment " . The original concept is most likely derived from a pre - Islamic Persian prototype that probably relied partly on Indian elements , but the work as we have it was collected over many centuries by various authors , translators and scholars across the Middle East and North Africa . The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic , Persian , Indian , Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature . In particular , many tales were originally folk stories from the Caliphate era , while others , especially the frame story , are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work Hazār Afsān . Though the oldest Arabic manuscript dates from the 14th century , scholarship generally dates the collection ' s genesis to around the 9th century . What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryar ( from Persian : شهريار , meaning " king " or " sovereign " ) and his wife Scheherazade ( from Persian : شهرزاده , meaning " townswoman " ) and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves . The stories proceed from this original tale ; some are framed within other tales , while others begin and end of their own accord . Some editions contain only a few hundred nights , while others include 1 , 001 or more . Some of the best - known stories of " The Nights " , particularly " Aladdin ' s Wonderful Lamp " , " Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves " and " The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor " , while almost certainly genuine Middle - Eastern folk tales , were not part of " The Nights " in Arabic versions , but were interpolated into the collection by its early European translators . The Muppet Show . " The Muppet Show " , with guest star Marty Feldman , presented the Muppets ' take on " One Thousand and One Nights " . In a framing story , Feldman plays a disheveled Scheherezade , telling Muppet versions of the classic stories to the Swedish Chef ' s Caliph : Also , The Miss Piggy Calendar 1980 features a photo of Miss Piggy in an " Arabian Nights " - themed costume , reclining on a divan and being fanned by frogs .
