Evidence: | '[Edgar Wallace recalled] the teacher read aloud "The Arabian Nights". "The colour and beauty of the East stole through the foggy windows of Reddin's Road School. Here was a magic carpet indeed that transported forty none too cleanly little boys into the palace of the Caliphs, through the spicy bazaars of Bagdad, hand in hand with the king of kings".' |
