"In Chicago, an ordinary key unlocks a magical trunk paced with robbers and a pie. In Boston, five magical bon-bons make an ordinary senator, and ordinary professor, and ordinary girl and her ordinary parents do the most estraordinary things! A young cowboy lassoes Father Time; the dummy in Mr. Floman's department store window comes to life; and a tiny beetle gives a New England farmer and his wife a pump which pumps not water, but gold!
Author of the much-loved Oz books, L. Frank Baum transforms the familiar with his magical mix of humor and enchantment. Most of the twelve stories in this delightful collection are set in America where, so it seems, modern fairies, knooks and ryls are always causing the most astonishing things to happen! These tales will enchant both young and old"
