In an unmistakable imitation of the book (One Thousand and One Nights), the Scottish novelist (Robert Louis Stevenson) creates storytelling worlds similar to (Scheherazade) as she narrates her successive tales. He writes at the end of his first story that his Arab author is the one who narrated the story, then follows with a phrase indicating that he will narrate next, and similar to the dawn rooster and Scheherazade's talk about her permissible words; another story will explicitly refer to the events before it, with the same characters, and the same applies to the third. This book contains three of Stevenson’s serialized stories, which he included along with a number of similar tales in his two-volume work (The New Arabian Nights). Although their events took place in modern Europe (the second half of the nineteenth century), he depicted, in his own style, a connection to the intertwined structure of those Arabic stories. In an article by Jorge Luis Borges about English literature, in which he discussed Stevenson’s literature, he says: "The work of Robert Louis Stevenson - The New Arabian Nights - the impressive - deals with the subject of the disguised prince who roams the city accompanied by his minister, and they undertake strange adventures together. But Stevenson invented his prince, Florizel from Bohemia, and his companion Colonel Geraldine, and made them walk around London. Not the real London, but a London similar to Baghdad, and not the real Baghdad but Baghdad of One Thousand and One Nights."
