Background
In 1928 Ransome was persuaded to write a script for a play at Withington Girl’s School, where Peggy Scott, the daughter of Ransome’s Manchester Guardian newspaper editor, Ted Scott, was a pupil. He turned for inspiration to Aladdin, the story he’d previously visited in Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp (1919).
