Description
In the first children's book by a highly influential American author, a kindly magician appears to make a child's wishes come true. Nine whimsical wonders, each more marvelous than the last, are depicted in colorful two-page spreads, from a garden of candy flowers to a pocket-sized zoo.
Author Biography
Author of novels, memoirs, and tales for children, Shirley Jackson (1916-65) was a master of the short story - as her classic of the genre, "The Lottery," attests. A recipient of the Edgar Allan Poe and O. Henry awards for short stories, she is the namesake of the Shirley Jackson Awards, presented in recognition for outstanding achievement in the literature of psychological suspense. Lorraine Fox (1922-76), a prominent American illustrator of magazines and books, as well as a painter, was honored with a Gold Medal Award from the Society of Illustrators.
