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.
