Publisher Description
Tom Baker stars as the fourth Doctor in the third of five thrilling
brand new adventures, with Susan Jameson as Mrs. Wibbsey.
Trapped
underground, the Doctor and Mrs. Wibbsey encounter a small boy who claims
to be Aladdin, in search of a fabled lamp. He joins them on their own
quest, to find a power source in this weird domain and switch it
off. Many obstacles lie in their way. Vast rooms stuffed with exotic
items give way to torch-lit tunnels and deadly precipices. Creatures of
mythical proportions lie in wait. Peculiar atmospheres take their toll
on them. Perhaps strangest of all, the Doctor’s multicolored scarf
appears to take on a life of its own …
As friends are separated and uneasy
alliances are formed, the strange environment attempts to claim them.
Will the Doctor and Mrs. Wibbsey ever get back to Hexford? And will
Aladdin discover who he really is? With Tom Baker as the Doctor, Susan
Jameson as Mrs. Wibbsey, Guy Harvey as Aladdin, Sophie Ward as the Storyteller, Terrence Hardiman as the Gryphon, Andrew Sachs as the
Scarf, Simon Shepherd as the Magician, and Su Douglas as the Toad, Aladdin Time is the third of five linked stories written by Paul
Magrs.

“Writer Paul Magrs continues to deliver the goods with this third part of the ongoing Serpent Crest narrative…he has obvious fun playing with the preconceptions that surround Arabian mythology, and also injects a rare degree of emotional depth.”
