As the guest scratch their heads with comic perplexity at their lack of inspiration, and it is feared that the Firework Display will be delayed, Widow Twankey appears. Even the Unidentified Friend of The Master of the Horse must think of five names. At a Special Meeting of State each guest is given a pencil and a piece of paper on which he must write five names, the Emperor will choose from all submitted. A huge firework display is planned but before it begins a name must be chosen for the new Prince. As you can imagine the city of Peking is full of the joyous news. She's still about you know, and just as awful as she ever was, just as crotchety and snappy and mean. Well, it all begins in the city of Peking in ancient China and with the birth of a son and heir to the Emperor Aladdin, yes, the Aladdin, son of the awful Widow Twankey. We're in pantomime land and so we must begin at the beginning -we're at Chapter The First which will explain, "How, Why, When and Where There Was Ever Any Problem in the First Place". You must imagine you're in the theatre and we're telling our story just for you. There, now we're friends, I do hope you're smiling already.
May your days be filled with constant joy, and may my story please you, for it has no other purpose. Read it aloud to any children between 5 and 8 and always make sure to be as theatrical as possible. Summary: The Land of Green Ginger is a delightfully quaint, old-fashioned piece of pantomime nonsense brought to the pages of a book for sharing.
