Magic by the Lake by Edward Eager
Since Half Magic first hit bookshelves in 1954, Edward Eager's Tales of Magic have become beloved classics. Now all seven cherished stories by Edward Eager about vacationing cousins who stumble into magical doings and whimsical adventures are available in updated paperback editions. The original lively illustrations by N. M. Bodecker have been retained, but eye-catching new cover art gives these classics a fresh, contemporary look for a whole new generation.When wishing for magic, it's hard not to wish for too much.
If Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha had stopped to think--oh, if they had only stopped to think --they would have ordered magic by the pound, or by the day, or even by the halves as they had in Half Magic.
But no, they asked for magic by the lake--and now they have to deal with a whole lakeful of enchantment
Soon the children are awash in magic. They find themselves cavorting with mermaids, outwitting pirates, and--with the help of a cranky old turtle--granting a little magical help to the one person who needs it most.
Edward Eager (1911-1964) was a writer and lyricist who lived from 1911 to 1964. He didn't start writing children's stories until 1951, when he was looking for books to read to his little kid.
