"Both beautiful and accessible." —The Wall Street Journal"John Yeoman's calm, intelligent prose retains a hint of the ornate Middle Eastern storytelling tradition—all very readably—while illustrator Quentin Blake's brilliantly brisk, tangled lines give a feeling of lightheartedness even to scenes of terror and danger." —The Wall Street Journal
