A newlywed Arabian queen avoids execution by keeping her mistrusting king entertained with her stories. By never finishing a story on the night she begins telling it, she keeps him on tenterhooks, and by the time she has run out of tales, the king has learnt to love and trust her, so her life is spared. Sir Richard Burton's translation of Arabian Nights is the most well-known and complete collection of these 9th-century Arabic tales of tragedy, love, erotica, comedy, and fable.
