Summary

Author of thirteen novels, several collections of short fiction, memoirs, books for children and screenplays, Jeanette Winterson is one of our greatest and most accomplished storytellers. In her latest book One Aladdin , Two Lamps (Cape) Winterson turns to the art of storytelling itself, using the legend of Shahrazad in The Thousand and One Nights as a springboard to ask, and suggest answers to, some of the great questions: Who should we trust? Is love the most important thing in the world? Does it matter whether you are honest? And what makes us happy? You can buy a copy of One Aladdin, Two Lamps from the London Review Bookshop.
