According to Al-Jazeera's website, the ban came in fear that the publication of the toppled Iraqi leader's book could sour the country's relations with Iraq.
According to officials in the Jordanian Press and Publication Department, the book has not been published yet, but its publishers said they had already received an order.
Last Friday, the Jordan-based Al-Arab Al-Yawm newspaper reported that the book, written before the U.S. -led campaign, was awaiting impending publication in Amman, Jordan's capital.
According to Al-Jazeera, the book follows a man who tries to overthrow the town sheikh, but is later defeated in his quest by the sheikh's daughter with the help of an Arab warrior.
The book explores the themes of good and evil, love for one's homeland and heroism.
This is Hussein's fourth book. The others are called Zabiba and the King, the Fortified Castle, and Men and the City.
