Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
K Up The well-known tale of Aladdin has been reproduced in its longest single version to date. Faithful to the original in her retelling, Mayer weaves the tale in the style of the storyteller, in language that flows from the tongue and pleases the ear. McDermott's captioned, full-page drawings done in pastel pencil and watercolor on Bristol board have a soft, textured look. A Middle-Eastern quality prevails as brilliant colors and rich patterns show off detailed scenes of Persian carpets and jeweled horses, turbaned noblemen, powerful genies and a wide-eyed princess who holds an uncanny resemblance to the author herself. Mayer and McDermott have created a lovely volume that will take its place beside the shorter Lang/LeCain version ( Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp Viking, 1981) as a classic edition of a perennial favorite.
