@cornelius386: The correct Name is "One Thousand and One Nights". It's a collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It's usually known in English as the "Arabian Nights", from the first English language edition in 1706. The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature, which is why the Asian artwork varies depending on the story.
That's not Arab style. It looks far east Asian. Did this artist know anything about Arab people?
