The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The scarcer First Small Paper edition also issued in large paper format. Langley s scarce work of children s fiction and a fairy tale concerning the son of Aladdin. 20 striking illustrations in colour by the author throughout. Noel Langley was born on Christmas Day in Durban South Africa and showed a talent for creative writing from a young age. Unperturbed by the less-than-enthusiastic response from his father who valued physical activity over artistic pursuits Langley began writing plays while at University the first of which was performed in Durban in 1932. He went on to write for West End Theatres published a successful novel Cage me a Peacock in 1935 and eventually accepted a full-time contract for the film production company MGM. The Land of Green Ginger tells the story of Abu Ali the son of Aladdin who is now the emperor of China. Ali s first words Button-nosed tortoise lead him on a fated quest which he embarks upon when he reaches maturity. Along the way he meets Wicked Princes Rubdub Ben Thud and Tintac Ping Foo as well as magic phoenix birds and the classic magic carpet and he must foil a series of evil schemes in order to complete his mission. The plot is very much set around the classic concept of The Hero s Journey in which the protagonist travels out on an adventure overcomes perils and returns home much changed by his or her experiences. The book was noted as being one of the first to continue a story after a happily ever after ending and was particularly popular at the time for its use of humorous wordplay. Langley s book was so successful that the following year he was approached to write the screenplay for the now famous film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. In fact it was Langley who suggested that Dorothy s shoes should be changed from silver to ruby giving us the iconic image so associated with the story today. In 1964 Langley recorded The Tale of the Land of Green Ginger in its entirety for LP. 1966 the book was re-issued with illustrations by Edward Ardizzone. Scarce indeed in the wrapper. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.</p> Arthur Barker Limited, London hardcover

Foxing to rear endpapers and a couple of preceding pages - does not affect the text nor the illustration. ; Book is in Very Good condition. First Edition. Scarce copy particularly with dustjacket. "In part due to the success of his own children's book The Land of Green Ginger Langley was one of the screenwriters chosen for the job of adapting L. Frank Baum's children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for film. In 11 days he provided a 43-page adaptation. Changes he introduced to the story are the inclusion of the actors playing the Tin Man the Scarecrow and the Lion characters as farmworkers in the sepia tone Kansas sequences as well as changing the color of Dorothy's shoes from silver to ruby. 5 Langley also introduced Miss Almira Gulch the Wicked Witch's Kansas counterpart. He then wrote a final draft. However unbeknownst to him MGM hired Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf to do rewrites. But producer Arthur Freed was displeased with their work and turned the script back over to Langley. Langley disliked their changes and removed many of them." wikipedia Bonus: New York Times clipping of ad for Radio City Music Hall showing of Hitchcock's film Rebecca dated 1940. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 143 pages .
