one of my favourites!

Every story in this book is lovely. Margaret Mahy always manages to weave magic around the most ordinary situations, making you look at everyday things in a whole new light. I first read this book when i was about fourteen or so, and I finally bought it a few weeks ago at the grand old age of 24!I had taken it out of my local library so many times that I must have paid for it ten times over in fines.
The stories still evoke fabulous images in my mind and I still like to read it now. I will ensure it is one of my daughters favourite bedtime story books!The magician's house with many windows, and the Bridge Builder, are simply wonderful; it is as if Mahy took a look at dreams I had as a child and wrote them down. Buy it- it will make you want to dress up as a princess and dance with the trees!
