Who wrote this book originally? The book that we have today "was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars across the Middle East and North Africa. The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature." So there is not really a really author to the stories within the book but who ever did really write them was amazing writer.
