Synopsis

A mechanical street map, a deserted slum, a church in ruins, and a football--four ordinary things that lead the Watson children into an extraordinary adventure in the land called Elidor, a magical world one step removed from our own. In pursuit of four ancient Treasures, the forces of evil have crossed over into our world. It falls to the Watson children to find the Treasures, seal the bridge between worlds, and guard the strayed unicorn Findhorn . . . even though their heroism may cost them everything.

About this title

Review

“Funny and wise” Cressida Cowell, author of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

Praise for The Phantom Tollbooth:
‘An altogether remarkable book, one that should delight any bright child, and that will be no burden for a parent to read aloud. Related with unflagging wit and a marvellous sense of the fun to be had with words, this book will be enjoyed by children for years to come.’ Spectator

Praise for Elidor:
‘Each detail, ordinary or sinister, establishes atmosphere, background or character exactly. Elidor is a remarkable book: intelligent, rich and terrifying.’
TLS

Praise for The Sword in the Stone:
‘One of the most significant books in my life...One of the greatest and most influential fantasy novels of the last hundred years.”
Garth Nix
