According to the book, in which country did Aladdin live?

Answer 1

Arabia

Answer 2

Note that although it is considered an Arabic tale either because of its source, or because it was included in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, the characters in the story are neither Arabs nor Persians, but rather are from the far east. The Far Eastern country in the story is an Islamic country, where most people are Muslims. There is a Jewish community, regarded by others with a prejudice. There is no mention whatever of Buddhists or Confucians. Everybody in this Far Eastern Country bears an Arabic name and its King seems much more like an Arab ruler than like an actual Chinese emperor. The Country of the tale was a mythic far-off place, definitely eastwards.[2]

For a narrator unaware of the existence of America, Aladdin's land would represent "the Utter East" while the sorcerer's homeland of Morocco represented "the Utter West" (the name "Morocco" is itself a corruption of the Arabic for "West", and the story introduces the sorcerer as "a westerner").

In the beginning of the tale, the sorcerer's taking the effort to make such a long journey, the longest conceivable in the narrator's (and his listeners') perception of the world, underlines the sorcerer's determination to gain the lamp and hence the lamp's great value. In the later episodes, the instantaneous transition from the east to the west and back, performed effortlessly by Djins, make their power all the more marvelous. This feature would argue that, even though no earlier manuscripts were found, the tale is derived from the period before the discovery of America, or at least before its existence sank into the consciousness of Arabs and Muslims.


The story of Aladdin comes from the Thousand-And-One Nights fable. (or stories from The Arabian Nights) which also includes Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and Sinbad the Sailor. The original story is set in China, but a strangely Arabian China (populated with genies and magicians) But in the case of panto, it is a very English China - hence it is centred around a Chinese laundry. Limelight Scripts version sticks to the traditional storyline. But like all good panto's it also incorporates up to date themes (in this case Dr Who’s Tardis makes an appearance) reflecting current popular shows.
