New adventures of John and Philippa Gont—New York twins, in each of whom a kind genie has awakened. In the epic by the British writer F. B. Kerr “Children of the Lamp,” miracles happen at every step: they are created by representatives of good and evil genie clans, who are constantly fighting each other.
In the third part of the series, “The Genie and the Cobra Queen,” trouble comes for the twins’ uncle Nimrod and his old friend Rakshas. The children must save them from the clutches of a mad Indian sect. Along the way, John and Philippa meet angels disguised as beggars and learn what “the second self” and “the soul mirror” are. Following the twins and their companion Dybbyx, you’ll get a sense of the terrifying cult of the Nine Cobras and find out who is hiding behind the disguise of the Snowman. Good will once again triumph over Evil, but fate’s blow will find them unprepared.
