Illustrated Edition: Features 20 beautifully crafted illustrations bringing the story to vibrant life. Includes Comprehensive Summary: A detailed summary to enhance understanding and enjoyment of the novel. Detailed Characters List: Offers insights into the fascinating characters that populate this magical story. Includes Author Biography: Learn about F. Anstey, the creative genius behind this enduring classic. Dive into the whimsical and chaotic world of F. Anstey's The Brass Bottle, a classic tale that combines wit, fantasy, and humor in a uniquely engaging Victorian setting. This special illustrated edition enriches the experience with 20 captivating illustrations, each vividly depicting key moments of the novel's intriguing plot. In this enchanting narrative, Horace Ventimore, a modest young architect, makes an impulsive purchase at an auction-an old, dusty brass bottle that soon proves to be anything but ordinary. Upon releasing the genie, Fakrash, who has been trapped inside for centuries, Horace's life is turned upside down. Fakrash is eager to repay his liberator, albeit with a sense of grandeur and benevolence that is woefully out of touch with the contemporary world. As the well-meaning genie showers Horace with gifts that are meant to bring joy, they instead spiral into a series of comedic disasters, challenging his career, his love life, and his sanity. From opulent palaces appearing in London to mythical creatures roaming the streets, Horace's once predictable life becomes a chaotic whirlwind. As he navigates the challenges posed by Fakrash's outdated understanding of human wishes, Horace must find a way to contain the genie's magic before it destroys his future with his fiancée, Sylvia, and overturns the societal norms of his time. This edition also includes a detailed character list that offers further insight into the colorful cast that animates Anstey's imaginative plot, as well as a biography of F. Anstey, providing context to his creative world. Whether you're a longtime fan of classic fantasy or discovering Anstey's work for the first time, The Brass Bottle is a delightful journey through a world where the line between the mundane and the magical is wonderfully blurred. Join Horace and Fakrash in an adventure that promises laughter, surprises, and a heartfelt exploration of what happens when ancient magic meets modern life.
