I'm beginning to think that none of you have every read this (which is a shame — it's an excellent read, and absolutely splendid for reading aloud).
One last quote before I give the answer tomorrow evening.
Quote:
"Who are you?" he asked at last.
"Boomalakka Wee," said the very small djinn dejectedly.
"Then what happened to Abdul?" asked Abu Ali.
"Father was busy, so I came instead," said the very small djinn apologetically. "I've always wanted to answer the lamp, but he always said No, he didn't want me hobnobbing with mortals; but when you rubbed the lamp just now, he was sleeping off his lunch, so I had to come instead."

And perhaps if I mention that the villains are Prince Tintac Ping Foo and Prince Rubdub Ben Thud, that might also jog some memories?
And if I also mention that it's a favourite of Neil Gaiman?
