De prinses Sheherazade vertelt aan een sultan, die elke nacht een andere vrouw kiest en haar smorgens laat doden, elke nacht een deel van een boeiend verhaal om aan haar executie te ontkomen. Als zij de sultan duizend en een nachten lang met haar verhalen geeft geboeid, laat hij haar leven. Deze verzameling van Oosterse vertellingen werd in Europa voor het eerst vertaald door de Fransman Antoine Galland (1704-1717, 12 delen), die de oorspronkelijke verhalen sterk bekort en gekuist heeft. Deze Nederlandse vertaling van J.A. Sandfort is weer een beknoptere versie van de Franse. Slecht vertaald, doorspekt met gallicismen, ontdaan van elke vorm van erotiek.
