THE MAGIC CITY

With Illustrations by H. R. MILLARCrown 8vo. 6s.

WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.—“It is, first, a capital story, full of rich colour for the child; the dialogue, logical and illogical, is natural and unforced; and, lastly, the interaction of reality and unreality is admirably contrived. The book undoubtedly belongs to that company of books which grow up with the young reader and bear re-reading many times.”

ATHENÆUM.—“E. Nesbit’s unflagging imagination has found a new field inThe Magic Cityfor the adventures of her youthful hero and heroine. She tells us of delightful and thrilling experiences which may fall to the lot of boys and girls in all the toy cities and houses they have built, and the countries they have created in their happiest flights of fancy, if once they can find their way into them.”

GUARDIAN.—“It is capital reading, and most children will find themselves engrossed by it.”

DAILY EXPRESS.—“Miss E. Nesbit has few equals as a narrator of fairy stories, and herThe Magic Cityis a splendid story.”
