1001 Arabian Nights is a collection of stories that authors have gathered over time. There is no one author but there are a few named translators and editors. Captain Sir Richard F. Burton translated a large portion of 1001 Arabian Nights and Geraldine McCaughrean is a modern editor of the Oxford edition.
1001 Arabian Nights was a long story told by a middle eastern woman. She had been married to a king known for killing his wives the morning after their one-night honeymoon. So this woman decided that before bed, she would tell him an exciting story with a cliffhanger at the end. The next day, the king realized that he didn't want to kill the woman because he wanted more of the story. So she continued the story the next night, ended it with a cliffhanger, and repeated the process. She did this for an unknown amount of time, though the story is called 1001 Arabian Nights for a reason. What I've just told you in itself was not the book. It was the story that the woman told to her husband.
The author of the folktale is unknown : Aladdin is one of the tales in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights) .
