He wrote two novels but was mainly remembered for the "Tales of the Genii." Despite the formal indication tracing these tales to a Persian manuscript it is believed that the "Tales of the Genii" are a product of James Ridley's imagination modeled upon the tales of the Arabian Nights. The Tales of the Genii were rather popular, saw a number of editions and were translated into other languages. Bookseller Inventory # 35508
