Illustrated by
Edward Ardizzone.
Happy endings abound in this delightful book. Langley (screenwriter for The Wizard of Oz) created a cast of unforgettable characters--including Aladdin, now Emperor of China--swirling around in the frothiest of plots that races along from one improbable situation to the next. The whole thing begs to be read aloud, and the proceedings are enlivened by Ardizzone's witty pen-and-ink drawings.
