Short Stories - The Thousand-And-Second Tale of Scheherazade by Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe is well known to many and I have introduced him before on this channel in reading some of his work.Instead, I will simply say by way of introduction, this short story from the author puts a fascinating little twist to the 1001 Arabian Nights by adding a 1002nd. There has been lengthy study and research as to the origins of the 1001 nights and most scholars are fairly certain that the tales originated in India and Persia in the early 8th century before spreading through the Middle East and having numerous stories adding to the original amount.The mystery, history and journey of these tales remain fascinating whichever way you view them and Poe’s addition is wonderful in its own way.Enjoy!
