Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp
A fairy tale retold from Favorite Fairy Tales by Logan Marshall
This reader retells the classic fairy tale of Aladdin from Favorite Fairy Tales by Logan Marshall, a collection first published in the early twentieth century. The story comes originally from The Arabian Nights. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. Aladdin's adventure teaches children that cleverness, courage and kindness matter more than riches, and that greed — like the magician's — brings trouble. The lamp, the ring, and the two genies have delighted young listeners for hundreds of years.
