The Magic World

The Magic World shows us the worlds of 12 incredible fantasy stories: The Cat-hood of Maurice (a boy abuses the family cat, and learns to see things from the feline point of view), The Mixed Mine (two boys find a magic spyglass, and use it to make their fortunes), Accidental Magic (Quentin falls asleep on the altarstone at Stonehenge, and wakes in Atlantis), The Princess and the Hedge-pig (King Ozymandias and Queen Eliza plan a secret christening for their Princess Ozyliza, to avoid a wicked fairy's curse), Septimus Septimusson (he is the seventh son of a seventh son, who can see fairies and hear the beasts speak), The White Cat (a boy finds a china ornament in the attic - a magic talisman), Belinda and Bellamant, Justnowland, The Related Muff, The Aunt and Amabel, Kenneth and the Carp & The Magician's Heart. These stories had the massive influence on J. R. R. Tolkien and have been the inspiration for C. S. Lewis's first Narnia novel, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
