Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.We all think we've read Aladdin, but this classic edition, with Heath Robinson's strangely down-to-earth illustrations, reminds us of what we have forgotten: it's easy, for one thing, to forget what a little creep Aladdin really is. This is just one in the continuing series of Everyman Children's Classics: other new titles include The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster, Cinderella by C S Evans (illustrated by Arthur Rackham) and The Railway Children by E Nesbit. Impeccable books, lovely paper, world-famous prose - what more could anyone want? They've even got lovely chequerboard endpapers, which will look great once they've been scrawled on with a felt-tip pen.
