Ala-udeen & The Magic Lamp / In Rhymed Couplets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578095929)

Here's the classic tale of Ala-udeen (Arabic pronunciation, meaning The Glory of the Way) and the well-known genie (or jinn) in the magic lamp, with all its smoke-blasts of wondrous mystery, swift mind-boggling transformations, heartfelt love-longing for the princess of the sultan, innocent good versus evil (with good triumphant against black magicky dark forces), and in modern, narrative rhyming couplets for today's readers. Everyone's invited for this new version of the ancient Muslim wisdom story from The Arabian Nights (Alf Layla wa Layla), or A Thousand Nights and a Night, so well-known as part of global consciousness that all you have to do is say "the magic lamp," and everyone knows what you're talking about, blue smoke-emerging genies and "Your wish is my command " - but presented here in a sparkling new rendition.
