Stranger magic : charmed states and the Arabian nights. London : Chatto & Windus, 2011. xx, 540 p., [16] p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [499]-516) and index. "Magic is not simply a matter of the occult arts, but a whole way of thinking, of dreaming the impossible. As such it has tremendous force in opening the mind to new realms of achievement: imagination precedes the fact. It used to be associated with wisdom, understanding the powers of nature, and with technical ingenuity that could let men do things they had never dreamed of before. The supreme fiction of this magical thinking is the Arabian Nights, with its flying carpets, hidden treasure and sudden revelations."--Dust jacket.
