Image of the cover jinni is by British artist Errol Le Cain. The style is a tribute to Eastern manuscript illuminations, taken from the edition of Aladdin retold by Andrew Lang (Faber & Faber, 1981).
Marina Warner writes about myths, fairytale, and folklore and this one traces the influence of Arabian Nights on Western culture. This is the only book of hers I've read so far and would love to read more. #genieinabottle #AugustGrrrl @Cinfhen
