New Arabian Nights by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1882, is a collection of short stories previously published in magazines between 1877 and 1880. The collection contains Stevenson's first published fiction, and a few of the stories are considered by some critics to be his best work, as well as pioneering works in the English short story tradition.
Other than the short story format, and Stevenson's play on Scheherezade with an Arabian "narrator," this book has essentially nothing to do with the tales from 1001 Nights.
