First Hardcover Edition, published in paperback in 1966, itself a re-illustrated edition from the original 1937 book. Illustrated by Edward Ardizzone.

The Land of Green Ginger is a 1937 book for children by Noel Langley. The book was originally illustrated by the author, though in 1966, it was re-illustrated with Edward Ardizzone's now classic illustrations. It 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, having various adventures, and struggling to do good whilst foiling the schemes of the Wicked Princes, Rubdub Ben Thud and Tintac Ping Foo. Edward Ardizzone, who sometimes signed his work "DIZ", was an English painter, print-maker and war artist, and the author and illustrator of books, many of them for children. For Tim All Alone, which he wrote and illustrated, Ardizzone won the inaugural Kate Greenaway Medal from the Library Association for the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject.
