<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Quentin Blake's charming art gets an updated look in this new edition of Edward Eager's beloved classic, featuring the original interior illustrations by N. M. Bodecker.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When wishing for magic, it's hard not to wish for too much. If Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha had stopped to think--oh, if they had only stopped to think!--they would have ordered magic by the pound, or by the day, or even by the halves as they had in <i>Half Magic. </i>But no, they asked for magic by the lake--and now they have to deal with a whole lakeful of enchantment! Soon the children find themselves cavorting with mermaids, outwitting pirates, and--with the help of a cranky old turtle--granting a little magical help to the one person who needs it most.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The combination of real children and fantasy is convincing and funny." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/> "The same mélange of realism and fantasy, witty talk and believable characterization that has come to be the hallmark of Mr. Eager's stories." <i> --New York Times Book Review</i> <br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Edward Eager</b> (1911-1964) worked primarily as a playwright and lyricist.
