His vizier's daughter Scheherazade volunteers as bride, then cleverly postpones her death by telling captivating stories that end on cliffhangers each night. For one thousand and one nights, she weaves tales of adventure, magic, jinn, sorcerers, and legendary places, buying her life one story at a time.
