Abdullah var en ung og ikke meget velstående tæppe forhandler. Hans far, der var blevet skuffet i ham, havde forladt ham penge kun nok til at åbne en beskeden stand i Bazaar. Når han ikke solgte tæpper, Abdullah tilbragte sin tid dagdrømmer. I hans drømme var han ikke søn af sin far, men den forsvundne søn af en prins. Der var også en prinsesse, der var blevet forlovet med ham ved fødslen. Han var tilfreds med sit liv og sine dagdrømme indtil en dag, en fremmed solgte ham en magisk carpet.In denne fantastiske efterfølger til Det levende slot, har Diana Wynne Jones igen skabt et storstilet, tempofyldt fantasi, hvor mennesker og ting er aldrig helt, hvad de synes. Der er gode og dårlige Djinns, en ånd i en flaske, troldmænd, hekse, katte og hunde (men er de katte og hunde?), Og en mystisk flydende slot fyldt med kidnappede prinsesser, samt to gådefulde profetier. Historien hastigheder sammen med forjættende drejninger indtil profetierne er opfyldt, er sande identiteter afsløres, og alt er løst i en helt tilfredsstillende, betagende, overraskelse fyldt slutning.

Abdullah was a young and not very prosperous carpet dealer. His father, who had been disappointed in him, had left him only enough money to open a modest booth in the Bazaar. When he was not selling carpets, Abdullah spent his time daydreaming. In his dreams he was not the son of his father, but the long-lost son of a prince. There was also a princess who had been betrothed to him at birth. He was content with his life and his daydreams until, one day, a stranger sold him a magic carpet. In this stunning sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones has again created a large-scale, fast-paced fantasy in which people and things are never quite what they seem. There are good and bad djinns, a genie in a bottle, wizards, witches, cats and dogs (but are they cats and dogs?), and a mysterious floating castle filled with kidnapped princesses, as well as two puzzling prophecies. The story speeds along with tantalizing twists and turns until the prophecies are fulfilled, true identities are revealed, and all is resolved in a totally satisfying, breathtaking, surprise-filled ending.
