Anthologies

Scheherazade's One Thousand and One Nights stories-fairy tales and fables, telling of the fantastic and mysterious, the comic and dramatic-have captured imaginations for a millennia. Dreaming of Djinn collects 18 new stories of lost cities, magical lamps, thieves, intrepid explorers, slaves, robotic felines, noble queens, sorcerers, outcast princes, harems, dancers, djinn, and assassins. Take a piece of sweet lokum, a glass of mint tea and dive into the djinni's bottle. There on the magic carpet you will be horrified, delighted, but ultimately entertained by what you find.
