Soft cover. Condition: Fair. Langley, Noel. The land of green ginger / illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1966. A Puffin Book ; PS256. First Puffin edition, a re-writing by the author of the book first published in 1937. Paperback, Good contents in Fair covers. Covers have minor shelfwear to edges, creases to opening corners, and a damaged spine. Binding good. Illustrated title page. 189pp., b/w illustrations. Light tanning to edges of page block. Contents clean and bright. Noel Langley (25 December 1911 4 November 1980) was a South African-born (later naturalised American) novelist, playwright, screenwriter and director. He wrote the screenplay which formed the basis for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and is one of the three credited screenwriters for the film. The Land of Green Ginger tells the story of Abu Ali, the son of Aladdin (who is now emperor of China). Abu Ali's first words are "Button-nosed tortoise", which immediately mark him out as fated to perform an important task when he grows up. On reaching maturity, Abu Ali duly sets out on his quest (the hero's journey), has various adventures, and struggles to do good whilst foiling the schemes of the Wicked Princes, Rubdub Ben Thud and Tintac Ping Foo.

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."

There is also lesser loss from the spine edge corners a number of closed tears and a little associated creasing. A scarce volume, particularly with a dust jacket in any condition.
