About this audiobook
A sorcerer pretending to be a long-lost uncle needs a boy nobody will miss to fetch an old brass lamp from a cave of treasures. But Aladdin keeps the lamp, discovers the genie bound to it, and rises from a poor tailor's son to the builder of the most beautiful palace in the kingdom — until the sorcerer returns with a peddler's cart, crying 'New lamps for old!' and Aladdin learns what in his life the genie never actually gave him.
Why it's worth a listen
A cave of jewels, two genies, a palace built overnight, and the most dangerous street cry in storytelling: new lamps for old! Beneath the adventure runs the season's best wishing game — compare what Aladdin asks for at the start with what he wants by the end, and you will know the one thing the lamp could never grant.
A question to keep
If you could wish for anything, what would actually be worth wishing for?
