How would you feel if a magic clock came flying through your window one evening and drank a cup of tea with you? What would you do to stop invading spiders from attacking your friends? And how could you escape if you'd been taken hostage by a band of witches? Join Percy in his adventures and find out! With a whale living at the bottom of his garden and a wizard hiding out in his dog kennel, Percy is no ordinary little boy. He is a half-magical little boy, and lives in Magic Land with his friends - fairies, talking animals, and his best friend Jack Jolly - battling against the wicked witches and goblins living on his doorstep. Percy's Magical Adventures has been produced with some illustrations, as interpreted by the artist, but children should be encouraged to imagine the various characters in the book for themselves. The stories are ideal for reading aloud to children. John Goodman lives with his wife in Dorset. Formerly in the private sector in the UK and the continent, he is now happily retired and enjoys the company of his nine grandchildren. Reading to them was always one of his pleasures.
