About this book
A ruler's habit of walking his cities in disguise gives H. N. Crellin's tales their starting point. Haroun Alraschid ventures into the streets to see that justice is done, accompanied by his Grand Vizier, Giafer. In Bussora, their curiosity about heavy sacks carried into a sailors' drinking house uncovers stolen palace property. A secret order for help leads to a dangerous separation, and the Caliph is carried away aboard a pirate vessel.
The collection places accounts involving merchants, a fisherman and a barber within the Caliph's adventures. Its contents include jars of ointment and a magic tube, while a merchant's account follows a dwindling inheritance, a failed trading venture and an encounter with a pilgrim who hints at hidden knowledge.
