<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>If the old toy soldier hadn't come to life, Roger would never have discovered the magic. And <i>that </i>would never have happened if he and his sister, Ann, hadn't been sent to stay with their bossy cousins for the summer. And <i>that </i>wouldn't have happened at all if their father hadn't gotten sick and gone into the hospital. But all of that <i>did </i>happen, and now Roger, his sister, and their cousins find themselves in a bygone world of chivalry and knighthood, of Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. In this knightly realm they can make a difference--and perhaps even save the person they most need to save--if only they are smart and brave enough, if only they are true to their hearts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A delicious spoof." --<i>Saturday Review</i> <p/> "A priceless mixture of old and new. . . .
