''Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall'' is a graphic novel prequel to the comic book series ''Fables'' written by series creator Bill Willingham with a variety of artists.〔(A Western Twist on Middle East Literary Traditions ) NPR〕 It was released on October 18, 2006 by Vertigo. In the story Snow White has been sent to negotiate with the Arabian fables. The sultan, considering it an insult that a woman was sent to negotiate, holds her hostage. Snow White tells him a story every night to keep him from beheading her. ==Plot== This tale is set in the 19th century, in the early days of Fabletown, when Snow White was sent as an envoy to the lands of the Arabian Fables. But the Arabian Fables are actually offended that a woman would be sent to negotiate. When she catches the eye of the sultan, Snow finds herself filling the unenviable role of Scheherazade, the teller of the original ''One Thousand and One Arabian Nights'' tales.〔Spencer, Jason. ''Fairy tale characters revamped in "Fables"''. Herald-Journal, Oct 12, 2006, p34.〕 Snow has to amuse the Sultan with tales of wonder and imagination every night - for a thousand and one nights - to keep her head off the chopping block. We see the stories as Snow tells them in a framing sequence similar to the original. Running the gamut from horror to dark intrigue to mercurial coming-of-age, it reveals the secret histories of familiar characters through a series of compelling and visually illustrative tales.
