The Magic Toyshop

'The Magic Toyshop' is a traditional fantasy / fairy story, in the tradition of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' and 'Alice in Wonderland'. Gerry and her brother go to an Edwardian-period toyshop, to buy a toy as a replacement for a pet which has recently died. As a way of choosing the new companion, the toyshop owner allows the children to enter a magic land with the new friend. The land is populated with the toys which they have seen in the toyshop. Good is set against Evil, as the wicked Queen Matilda attempts to take control of the idyllic land of toys. There, the children learn the value of new companions and friendship, especially the cynical Edward. And they are home in time for tea!
