The most well known fiction
from the Islamic world was The Book of One Thousand and One
Nights (Arabian Nights), which was a compilation of many
earlier folk tales told by the Persian
Queen Scheherazade.
All Arabian fantasy
tales were often called "Arabian Nights" when translated into English,
regardless of whether they appeared in The Book of One Thousand and One
Nights, in any version, and a number of tales are known in Europe as "Arabian Nights" despite existing in
no Arabic manuscript.
