With unflagging satire, lively characterization and humor, James Morier, in the guise of his hero, recreates for his readers the rich and colorful world of long-ago Persia in this classic work, The Adventures of Hajji Baba.
The adventures of the hero are as humorous as they are illuminating, and trace his rise from humble barber to Shah's Deputy.
As he recounts his exploits, we listen in absorption to tales liberally, yet seemingly unconsciously, sprinkled with accurate details of Persian manners and customs.
Unique in its way, readers will be charmed and exhilarated by the exploits of Hajji Baba.
