Castle in the air - diana wynne jones

Young merchant Abdullah leads a humble life.

Or he did until a stranger sold him a threadbare--and disagreeable--magic carpet.

Now Abdullah is caught in the middle of his grand daydreams.

Waking one night in a luxurious garden, he meets and falls instantly in love with the beautiful and clever Flower-in-the-Night.

But a wicked djinn sweeps the princess away right before Abdullahs eyes, leaving the young man no choice but to follow.

This is no ordinary quest, however, for Flower-in-the-Night isnt all the djinn has stolen.

Abdullah will have the so-called help of the cantankerous carpet, a cranky genie in a bottle, a dishonest soldier, and a very opinionated black cat.

Will this motley crew be able to find the djinns mysterious dwelling and rescue a castle full of princesses?.
