First Edition. Red cloth binding with white and gold print on spine. Red endpapers. DJ clipped with wear and tear on edges-" A stranger comes to the city of Mageia and challenges its inhabitants with a new kind of magic - a magic that restores innocence and faith.-Paul Gallico has written a beautiful, poignant story of magic. It will have you believing long before his triumphant climax. The denouement is bittersweet but lovely. Get this book in your collection now. It is hard to find but well worth the hunt.- this remains an entertaining and often humorous account for all ages. But, beyond the simple language and gentle humor lies a profound and insightful critique of society's hypocrisy and capacity for brutal rejection of anything, or anyone, that threatens its vested interests. Those who profit from cheap illusions cannot bear the existence of a genuine article. This is a story with a valuable lesson for the rising generation, told with charm and wit.

Description:
Garden City, NY:: Doubleday,, 1966.. Hardcover -. Very near fine in dark red cloth with gilt lettering and silver decorations on the spine in a very good dustjacket with some minor edgewear.. First edition, stated. "The hidden city of Mageia, is the home of magicians, 'Masters of Misdirection' where even the children can produce paper flowers from a tube, and know there is no such thing as magic. But no one in Mageia knows what makes a tree grow or why the stars come out at night. One day Adam the Simple, a wandering magician, and his dog, Mopsy, knocked at the city gates. No one then understood that he had a different kind of magic--one that could restore innocence, wonder, and awe." 203 pp. Wraparound dust jacket art by Bunty Miller.
