Djinn are the cool breezes in warm rooms, the materializations of your deepest desires, the monsters waiting beneath your bed. They have appeared in the stories of Muslim communities across time and throughout the world, but this is the first comprehensive illustrated guide to these beguiling creatures.\n\nEmmy Award–winning journalist Seema Yasmin and Pulitzer Prize-winning illustrator Fahmida Azim invite readers into the world of djinn, whether they are practicing Muslims steeped in the stories from childhood or are simply curious about Islamic culture and international folklore. Cultural and religious context, poetic reflections, and a collection of spooky tales are all nestled within a compelling narrative about the mysterious Dr. N, a contemporary scientist discovering the djinn realm. This book shines a light on a long-overlooked yet dazzlingly rich subject.\n\nINCLUSIVE VISION OF ISLAMIC LORE: Written by two progressive Muslim women, this book welcomes readers with diverse relationships to Islam. Yasmin and Azim blend a deep respect for and knowledge of the lore with a fresh perspective. The book incorporates stories from a Muslim diaspora that stretches from Paris to New Jersey and from Durban to Shanghai, showcasing a kaleidoscopic variety of djinn legends.\n\nDELUXE TOME: In this richly illustrated volume, Fahmida Azim's expressive and sensitive art captures the mysterious nature of djinn. A centerpiece map shows the djinn realm overlaid over our own world, and the book itself is embellished with shimmering accents and a striking dyed page edge.\n\nPERFECT FOR MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE FANS: This is the perfect addition to any collection of world mythology. Anyone who enjoys learning about cultures through their folklore will relish the chance to explore the realm of the djinn.\n\nPerfect for: Folklore and mythology lovers Muslims seeking to celebrate their heritage Anyone interested in Islamic history and culture Spooky story buffs Fans of illustrated books Fans of mock-memoir fantasy novels like A Natural History of Dragons\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1797214810\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1797214810.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yasmin, Seema|Azim, Fahmida\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
