Whilst scanning the sand on a Dorset beach with his metal detector, John Silver (Long John) to his friends uncovers Aladdin’s Magic Lamp. After floating in the sea for two thousand years, the lamp has become a battered relic of what it used to be. When John polishes his find to summon up the genie, the slave of the lamp cannot get past the twisted spout.

Thinking that the lamp is just another useless piece of junk, John’s mother throws it away for recycling. During the recycling process, the genie becomes miniaturized and the lamp is recreated as a bicycle bell.

Although John doesn’t own a bicycle, he feels compelled to buy the bell when he sees it displayed in a shop window. When he rings the bell, a tiny genie appears.

John’s first two wishes turn out to be miniature replicas of what he had asked for. His disappointment grows when the genie informs him that the lamp must be restored to its former glory before he can grant full sized wishes. The genie then tells John, that the only person with the power to turn the bicycle bell back into a lamp is Merlin the Magician.

Seated on a magic carpet with the genie on his shoulder, John travels back twenty eight years in time where he meets his mother and father and several of their friends who agree to accompany him on his great adventure to find Merlin.

  1. Tomas Stone's books are not the type of book I would usually read but he was so much fun on Deal or No deal I bought the first two as ebooks and enjoyed reading them. His imagination is clearly unique and his writing style keeps you going so you don't get bored or bogged down.
    I really need the third one now (Who says houses...) but I only buy ebooks these days. Please can we get this released as an ebook?
    Thanks
