The classic tale that inspired the hit Disney movie, The Story of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, presented complete and unabridged from the original "Thousand and One Arabian Nights," is not a children's story, but a book-length fantasy novel of romance and wonder! If you love fantasy novels replete with sorcery and bravery, then you owe it to yourself to read The Story of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp in a delightful turn-of-the-century translation. Straight from the pages of the "Thousand and One Nights," Aladdin has been called "the first fantasy novel ever written down" – 40,000 words of exotic adventure and breathless romance. Meet Aladdin, the boy in China who sends a genie to kidnap the princess on her wedding night. And meet the princess Bedr-el-Budar. Discover why Aladdin traded rubies for bread, why one room of Aladdin's palace was left unfinished, what happened the night of the princess' first marriage to the Wezir's son, why Aladdin's troubles were only beginning when he finally slew the evil sorcerer who schemed for the lamp, how the kidnapped princess kept the wizard at bay in her boudoir, what happens when you call upon a genie of the Lamp to obtain the egg of a rukh, and many other wonders of the story of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp that have been kept from you until now.
