A magic mirror enables Sebastian to travel from his Victorian world of winter snow and Mrs Parkin to a magic world of Melissa, Mantari, and wicked Enchanter and many other exciting people.This wonderful book follows in the great tradition of the E. Nesbit magic books. Since its first publication in 1969 it has proved its appeal to children of every age.Long out of print until republished by Fidra Books in the UK and Purple House Press in the USA, it received praise from respected children's authors including:Garth Nix - "...I prize my copy of The Winter of Enchantment very highly and suggest you seek it out. A great fantasy tale of a young boy who must undertake a quest to free a girl from the eternal prison of the Enchanter, aided only by the Silver Teapot, Mantari the cat (who ate the Silver Fish and so inadvertently took its power), the Seasons, and their own courage. Somebody should republish this book!"Neil Gaiman: "I remember it as being utterly magical." Interviewed by Jayne Nelson for SFX Magazine he said that he had first read The Winter of Enchantment at the age of 8 or 9, and recalled how the story had stayed with him. "I remember running across the book again when I was 12 and it being just as strange - scenes remained, and characters. And when I was 42 and read it again, it was just as vivid." ... ther's a point of view of the fragility of the world and of the nature of the powers beyond it that I definitely absorbed..."The sequel - The House Called Hadlows - is also now available as a Kindle book.

Fifteen year old Lilian had no idea that she would be destined for greatness. That is, until she found a magical portal that crossed over into a wonderful land known as Enchantra. There, she met a beautiful princess named Princess Neela who then showed her the wonders of Enchantra and all of the creatures that graced the land. There were gnomes and unicorns and an army of Urae Faeries. As Lilian learned more about Enchantra, she found out about an evil Ice Faerie named Princess Ezza. This cold faerie wanted nothing more than to destroy Princess Neela and turn Enchantra into a cold and desolate place for her and her army of Gloyds and Ice Dragons to live.When Lilian learned of her heritage as a faerie, she had to gather all of her courage to help Princess Neela defeat the terrible Ice Faerie and her army before it was too late. Lilian had no idea what had awaited her beyond the portal and what surprises would be in store for her in Enchantra.

Evil tidings have their own trick of spreading abroad. You cannot bury them. The news which had come secretly to Venice was known from the Giudecca to Madonna dell'Orto in two hours. Before noon it was in Murano.Young Zuan Gradenigo, making his way on foot from the crowded Merceria into the Piazza di San Marco, ran upon his friend, the young German captain, whom men called Il Lupo—his name was Wölfart—and learned, what almost every other man in the city already knew, how Lewis of Hungary, taking excuse of a merchant ship looted in Venetian waters, was on his way to a second invasion, and had given over the Dalmatian towns to the ban of Bosnia to ravage.The two men were still eagerly discussing the matter and its probable outcome, half an hour later, standing beside one of the gayly painted booths which, at this time—the spring of 1355—were clustered about the foot of the great Campanile, when a servant in the livery of the doge touched young Zuan's arm and, in a low tone, gave him a message.Gradenigo turned back to the German."My uncle wishes to see me at once in the palace," he said. "If you are not pressed, go to my house and wait for me there. I may have important news for you." Then, with a parting wave of the hand, he went quickly across the Piazzetta and under the gateway to the right of St. Mark's.At the head of the great stair two men were awaiting him, and they led him at once through a narrow passage with secret sliding-doors to an inner cabinet of the private apartments of the newly elected doge, his uncle, Giovanni Gradenigo.The doge sat alone in a great carven chair before a table which was littered with papers and with maps and with writing-materials. From a high window at one side colored beams of light slanted down and rested in crimson and blue splashes upon the dark oak of the table and what lay there, and upon the rich velvet of the doge's robe, and upon his peculiar cap of office. He was not a very old man, but he was far from strong. Indeed, even at this time he was slowly wasting away with the disease which carried him off a year later, but as he sat there, bowed before the table, he looked old and very worn and tired. His face had no color at all. It was like a dead man's face—cold and damp.And yet, although he was ill and seemed quite unfit for labors or duties of any sort, he was in reality an unusually keen and shrewd man, capable of unremitting toil. There burned somewhere within the shrunken, pallid body an astonishingly fierce flame of life. He had been elected to office hard upon the Faliero catastrophe partly because his name was one of the very greatest in Venice—two others of his house had worn the cap and ring within the century past—but chiefly because his sympathies were as remote as possible from the liberal views of the poor old man who had preceded him. He was patrician before all else, and fiercely tenacious of patrician rights—fiercely proud of his name and possessions...
