It was first published in hardcover by Chapman and Hall in 1856, and there have been numerous editions since. Its importance in the history of fantasy literature was recognized by its reissuing by The Limited Editions Club in 1955. The LEC edition includes a preface by Sir Francis Meredith Meynell. The novel is a humorous romance and allegory written in the style of the Arabian Nights. Like its model, it includes a number of stories within the story, along with poetic asides. Shibli Bagarag, a Persian barber, and Noorna, an enchantress, are given the quest of shaving the tyrant Shagpat, who by the power of his magical hair holds his city in thrall. Along the way Shibli acquires a magic sword and meets a series of exotic creatures, including a talking hawk and several genies. Incidentally, for fans of the occult, Aleister Crowley was much taken with the work and put it on the Curriculum of the A.'. A.'. describing it as "An excellent allegory" and refers to it in his "Confessions" as "that superb magical apologue."
