“Book Descriptions: Have you read 'The Arabian Nights'? Also known as 'One Thousand and One Nights.' It's a collection of Arabic folk stories which are told, one every late evening, to the king, Shahryar, by his wife Scheherazade. The first edition in English came out in the early 1700s.
Here we have Poe's take on the much larger book.
The Edgar Allan Poe Society in the UK introduces the 1845 short story this way, "A day after Scheherazade escaped death, she endeavours to recount another story to the king, this time of a retired Sinbad who finds himself seeking out new adventure. A comical sequel to the classic Sinbad tales, 'The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade' is highly recommended for fans of the short story form, and is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works by this author."”
