Not really. It contains a tiny selection of the tales only. Richard F. Burton's unexpurgated version of 1885 numbers 16 substantial volumes (though they contain very lengthy footnotes and additional essays) and the 2008 Penguin Classics translation has 3 volumes and around 3000 pages.

In any case: One Thousand and One Nights is a wonderful collection of classic Arabic tales and well worth reading, although it isn't really high fantasy.
