A story in Endless Nights, set long before any other Sandman story, explains the origins of the Desire / Dream enmity, and reveals that before this Desire was Dream's favorite sibling.

" This story, set billions of years before the story-arc of The Sandman, tends to portray the characters in a very different light, showing that even the Endless are not unchanging, with Desire's attitude towards Dream being playful rather than malicious during this early encounter.

It is a spin-off from Gaiman's best-selling Vertigo Comics series The Sandman, featuring the Sandman ( Dream )' s elder sister, Death of the Endless in a self-contained story based around the fable that Death takes human form once a century, to remain grounded and in touch with humanity, an idea touched upon in several other media, for example in the 1934 film Death Takes a Holiday and in the Terry Pratchett novel Reaper Man.

The story of Turandot was taken from a Persian collection of stories called The Book of One Thousand and One Days ( 1722 French translation Les Mille et un jours by François Pétis de la Croix — not to be confused with its sister work The Book of One Thousand and One Nights ), where the character of " Turandokht " as a cold princess was found.

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryār ( from, meaning " king " or " sovereign ") and his wife Scheherazade ( from, possibly meaning " of noble lineage ") and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves.

The history of the Nights is extremely complex and modern scholars have made many attempts to untangle the story of how the collection as it currently exists came about.

An early example of the frame story, or framing device, is employed in the One Thousand and One Nights, in which the character Scheherazade narrates a set of tales ( most often fairy tales ) to the Sultan Shahriyar over many nights.

An early example of the " story within a story " technique can be found in the One Thousand and One Nights, which can be traced back to earlier Persian and Indian storytelling traditions, most notably the Panchatantra of ancient Sanskrit literature.

The Nights, however, improved on the Panchatantra in several ways, particularly in the way a story is introduced.

" In the Nights, this didactic framework is the least common way of introducing the story, but instead a story is most commonly introduced through subtle means, particularly as an answer to questions raised in a previous tale.

This is particularly the case for the " Sinbad the Sailor " story narrated by Scheherazade in the One Thousand and One Nights.

This device occurs in the One Thousand and One Nights, which binds several tales in a story cycle.

Several different variants of the " Cinderella " story, which has its origins in the Egyptian story of Rhodopis, appear in the One Thousand and One Nights, including " The Second Shaykh's Story ", " The Eldest Lady's Tale " and " Abdallah ibn Fadil and His Brothers ", all dealing with the theme of a younger sibling harassed by two jealous elders.

Another Nights tale with crime fiction elements was " The Hunchback's Tale " story cycle which, unlike " The Three Apples ", was more of a suspenseful comedy and courtroom drama rather than a murder mystery or detective fiction.

A prime example is the story The History of Gherib and His Brother Agib ( from Nights vol.

The story also made an appearance in Nights with Uncle Remus in 1883, both by Joel Chandler Harris, in which the pigs were replaced by Brer Rabbit.
