The Magic Shop Listener Reviews

" Maybe it's been a while since I've read H.G. Wells, but I'm repeatedly surprised by his well-turned phrases. This children's story uses words sparingly, but with precision. The pictures are a little dark and creepy, but certainly add to the mysterious feel of the book. "
