The Magic City

di E. Nesbit (Autore)

Waking Lion Press, 2026

Young Philip Haldane has been living a happy life with his beloved older sister Helen, their parents having died some years previously. But when his sister meets a childhood sweetheart-now a widower-and marries him, Philip is plunged into anger and bitter resentment. He extends this resentment to Lucy, the daughter of Helen's new husband. Left alone while his sister goes on her honeymoon, he builds a fantastical city out of wooden blocks and household items. Shortly afterwards, he finds himself inside his imaginary city, and is tasked with carrying out a series of heroic deeds. *The Magic City* was published in 1910. Like Nesbit's other children's books, it was first serialized in *The Strand* magazine. Perfect for readers who love classic children's fantasy adventures like Alice in Wonderland or The Chronicles of Narnia! E. Nesbit masterfully weaves together family drama and magical wonder as Philip discovers that the miniature city he built becomes gloriously, dangerously real. This timeless tale of imagination, redemption, and sibling love will enchant both young readers discovering it for the first time and adults rediscovering the magic of childhood dreams made manifest.
