Scheherazade

Sheherazade is the legendary narrator and central framing character of One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and North African folktales compiled in Arabic between roughly the 8th and 14th centuries. Sheherazade is the wife of King Shahryar and saves herself, and ultimately the women of the kingdom, from execution by recounting a continuous sequence of interlinked stories over the course of 1,001 nights.
