Tonight, we’ll be reading, "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp", a story out of the "Blue Fairy Book", edited by Andrew Lang in 1889. "Aladdin" is a middle eastern folk-tale thought to be originally written by Hanna Diyab, and is one of the tales from the book, "One Thousand and One Nights",  otherwise known as "The Arabian Nights". Since it first appeared in the early 18th century, Aladdin has been one of the best known and most retold of all folk-tales.
