About the author

James Justinian Morier

d. 1849

Best known for the lively Hajji Baba novels, this British diplomat-turned-writer drew on years spent in Persia to create sharp, often satirical stories that introduced many English readers to Qajar Iran. His travel writing and fiction blend firsthand observation with the attitudes and politics of the early 19th century.
