A magical masterpiece from the creator of Not Now, Bernard, Elmer and Mr Benn. This classic David McKee text is wonderfully re-illustrated in full colour....a strong story with a very good moral: magic has its place but doing things for yourself is more fulfilling.
When Melric, the king's magician, mysteriously loses his magic, he sets out on a quest to return it. But with the kingdom under attack, will Melric get his magic back in time to protect it?
A wonderfully involving tale... (Children) will love the story of Melric, resplendent in his red and gold starry gown but suffering from magician's block. -- Kate Kellaway Observer
Packed with detail... Another success for McKee! The School Librarian
