About this listen
A magical Arabian Nights tale from the captivating creator of fantasy, Diana Wynne Jones. The dazzling sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle.
Far to the south in the Land of Ingary, lives a young carpet merchant called Abdullah. In his dreams, he is the long-lost son of a great prince. This dream is a complete castle in the air… or is it?
Abdullah’s day-dreams suddenly start to come true when he meets the exquisite Flower-in-the-Night, daughter of the ferocious Sultan of Zanzib. Fate has destined them for each other, but a bad-tempered genie, a hideous djinn, and various villanous bandits have their own ideas. When Flower-in-the-Night is carried off, Abdullah is determined to rescue her – if he can find her.

“This is the Arabian Nights with a twist. Readers won’t put down the book until they figure out all its secrets.”
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (starred review)
"A bewitching romp, gratifying to mind, imagination, and funnybone."

Not as amazing as the first book but entertaining
I was slightly disappointed at the story waiting to unravel properly till the very last chapter...it was a bit dull until then, but the main characters were delightfully funny and made up for the basically non existent crescendo. Narration was superb. Enough for me to listen to book 3!

A sequel excels
The story of a boy who has a dream and the magical world unfolds with endearing twists and proves a so called children's story reaches beyond and back.
