This video differs quite dramatically from my usual ones. Here, I am reading a full story from A Thousand and One Nights entitled "The City of Brass", which fits in well with the Halloween theme of today!


I have shortened the tale slightly, for example by removing the whole story that the Jinn in the pillar tells about the way he ended up there. A story that includes a Lord of the Rings-style war between the King/Prophet Solomon, with jinn, birds and reptiles on his side, and the forces of evil. Which is of course.. awesome, but was cut to keep the narrative coherent.


Also keep in mind that this tale, AND its translation, is quite old and thus can feature some statements that appear offensive to some.

All music is my own, some of which you can find here: https://open.spotify.com/album/41mTdT...
