Review:
"Those new to the world of Byatt might well begin here, with these tales-within-tales, which one can read as anything from contemporary allegories - such as the superb Dragon's Breath, evoking every idyll that ever fell foul of war or famine - to sheer celebrations of storytelling itself" (Vogue)
"The familiar elements of fairy story come to life under A.S. Byatt's touch...with lightness, precision, grace" (Observer)
"A cerebral extravaganza, bristling with ideas" (Spectator)
"The fairy story is obviously a form that fascinates A.S. Byatt, it suits her spare, cool prose and this collection enables her to create very different effects... a beautifully produced book" (Financial Times)

Byatt portrays the strange relationship between an intelligent heroinea world-renowned scholar of the art of storytellingand the marvelous being that lives in a bottle, found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar. As Byatt renders the relationship between the woman and the being with a powerful combination of erudition and passion, she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing, but inevitable.The companion stories in this collection each display different facets of Byatt's remarkable gift for enchantment. They range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy; they draw us into narratives that are as mesmerizing as dreams and as bracing as philosophical meditations; and they all inhabit an imaginative universe astonishing in the precision of its detail, its intellectual consistency, and its splendor. The magnificent stories in this "New York Times" Notable Book range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy. 5 illustrations.
