A clever pastiche of an Arabian fable in which the 18th-century ruler of a Middle Eastern land reluctantly faces up to the unsuitability of his son, a fat, dreamy boy, to act as his heir...Playful yet intelligent, it's an impressive exercise in literary impersonation

Lucy Powell, Observer
Thought-provoking, sumptuously written...a curiously beautiful and life-affirming story
