There isn't a single author of One Thousand and One Nights. It is a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales and stories compiled over centuries by various authors and storytellers. The most famous frame tale of the collection is about Queen Scheherazade.
No one knows who the author is.But some people think that the author is an Arab who gave himself the fake name of a knight.
But many people think that there is more then one author.
And that they are stories passed down from one person to another.
1001 Arabian Nights was a long story told by a middle eastern woman. She had been married to a king known for killing his wives the morning after their one-night honeymoon. So this woman decided that before bed, she would tell him an exciting story with a cliffhanger at the end. The next day, the king realized that he didn't want to kill the woman because he wanted more of the story. So she continued the story the next night, ended it with a cliffhanger, and repeated the process. She did this for an unknown amount of time, though the story is called 1001 Arabian Nights for a reason. What I've just told you in itself was not the book. It was the story that the woman told to her husband.
