The four most popular stories—Half Magic, Knight's Castle, Magic by the Lake, and The Time Garden—are ready for middle grade reading pleasure. This set is perfect for gift-giving and for introducing eager new readers to a whole world of wit and magic,

This funny and gentle classic series is an enjoyable read-aloud and also a strong choice for independent reading.

About the Author

Edward Eager (1911–1964) worked primarily as a playwright and lyricist. It wasn’t until 1951, while searching for books to read to his young son, Fritz, that he began writing children’s stories. His classic Tales of Magic series started with the best-selling Half Magic, published in 1954. In each of his books he carefully acknowledges his indebtedness to E. Nesbit, whom he considered the best children’s writer of all time—“so that any child who likes my books and doesn’t know hers may be led back to the master of us all.”
