Arabian Nights: A Storytelling
By Jane Ogburn Dorfman, Storyteller
Introduction: The stories of The Arabian Nights were stories collected over several centuries from a variety of sources in India, Persia, and Arabia. They range from adventure fantasies, amorous encounters, animal fables, and pointed Sufi tales, and provided daily entertainment in the medieval Islamic world. Over centuries of telling and retelling, the stories were modified to reflect the general life and customs of the Arab society that adapted them—a distinctive synthesis that marks the cultural and artistic history of Islam.

Title of first tale: The Fisherman and the Djinn
Title of second tale: Qamar al-Zaman
Follow up: The Arabian Nights stories have been handed down for hundreds of years. In some versions, it ends with Scheherazade falling silent and saying she has no more stories to tell. In others, she introduces the King to his three sons, born during the 1001 nights of her stories that stopped at dawn and carried over from night to night to night, capturing the king's imagination and giving her time to capture his heart. She asks that the death sentence on their mother be lifted. King Shahrayar, healed of his madness by her stories, joyfully agrees.
He makes her his queen and they live out their days and nights happily.
