Khaled, A Tale Of Arabia

Khaled, A Tale of Arabia

by Francis Marion Crawford

Khaled is a powerful jinn, or genie, with a good heart. When he sees that Zehowah, the beautiful and virtuous daughter of the king, is about to accept a foreign prince as her husband, who has lied about converting to Islam, he takes the law into his own hands and kills the prince. When the pair is confronted by an angel, Khaled begs to be made into a mortal man. His wish is granted, under one condition: Khaled must win the love of Zehowah.
