Category:Arabian Nights

Ever After High OCs from The Arabian Nights, a collection of Middle Eastern fairy tales, originating from Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian folklore. These stories originate from the Islamic Golden Age, and were translated into French by Antoine Galland (1646-1715), and by many later translators into English, most notably by Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890).

The framing story of the collection is about a sultan's wife named Scheherezade, who tells stories every night to delay her execution. The original Arabic version contained 270 nights - many of the stories in the collection (such as Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves) are believed to have originally been separate from the collection prior to Galland's translation.
