Once upon a time, there were three bored but imaginative little
children, Jerry, Jimmy, and Cathy, left all alone in a boarding
school with one nosy maid and an agreeable French governess for the
holidays. Having securely wrapped the governess around their
collective little fingers, they secure her permission to go into
the woods one afternoon. In the woods, they find a castle garden,
and in the garden they find a sleeping princess dressed all in pink
silk with a magic ring on her finger. The princess is really Mabel,
the housekeeper's niece, who is only pretending to be royalty. But
when she shows them a secret room filled with treasure where they
discover a magical ring, enchantment becomes a reality. Be careful
what you wish for. There is invisibility, there are secret
passages, there are gods and goddesses and a dinosaurus, there is
magic and myth and a whole world of hidden secrets.
Harding's Luck is sequel to E. Nesbit's "The House of Arden". It
tells the story of Dickie Harding, a disabled boy, who one day
accidentally discovers an old magic, that allows him to travel into
his own past. There he meets Elfrida and Edred Arden (as told in
"The House of Arden") and together they seek for a long lost
treasure. With the assistance of the magical Mouldiwarp, they
travel back in time to earlier periods of English history,
searching for clues. A great favorite of Nesbit fans; it's a story
of injustice, poverty, deformity, magic, romance, suspense,
sacrifice, and triumph over adversity that comes to its point with
a fateful twist.
Eight madcap tales of unpredictable dragons -- including one made
of ice, another that takes refuge in the General Post Office, and a
fire-breathing monster that flies out of an enchanted book and eats
an entire soccer team! Marvelous adventure and excitement for
make-believers of all ages. 24 illustrations.
