What this book is about
Set in a Middle Eastern-inspired world parallel to Ingary, a young carpet merchant named Abdullah finds a magic carpet and a beautiful princess — and before long is embroiled in a plot involving djinns, genies, and a missing castle. Jones's companion to Howl's Moving Castle is brilliantly playful with its source traditions and genuinely surprising.
