"Aladdin and the Lamp" from Magical Fairy Tales by Tucker Slingsby Limited

Despite not being part of the original text, Aladdin is associated with One Thousand and One Nights, a compilation of Middle-Eastern folktales originally written in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 13th century). In English, the book is known as Arabian Nights. Aladdin was later added to the compilation by French translator Antoine Galland. He based his story on what he learned from Hanna Diyab, a Syrian storyteller who met him in Paris in 1709.
