A scarce book in a good, but not perfect condition. 212 pg. >>> This nearly 60 year old YA novel has a surprising number of reviews, the majority five star! Unlike the magic of Penn and Teller, or of Harry Potter, I am drawn to that ageless quest for "ordinary" magic. - This is a 1966 fable about an unassuming man, Adam, capable of true magic. He travels to a fantastical place, Mageia, where he hopes to be accepted into their Guild of Magicians and with their help, learn more about magic, rating himself as only a modest beginner. When the town's master magicians witness his real magic, ironically, they consider it cheating and in their sleight-of-hand hearts and minds, they also covet his secret. He is now a threat to them and is in mortal danger. - Luckily author Gallico cleverly gives Adam a companion and sidekick, Mopsy, a talking dog. We all know dogs are fiercely loyal and have that near magical intuition about humans. With Adam's utterly trusting nature, he could never have survived without the cynic Mopsy. - In Mageia, he also meets a young resident, an 11 year old girl, Jane, who doesn't care to grow up to be a magician's assistant as is traditional. No, she wants to be a magician herself! That touch of early feminism tickled my female heart. She will be the only one in Mageia who learns some of the "ordinary magic" from him.
