Book Description
Excerpt from The Magic Mantle: And Other Stories Part I. of this little romance is confessedly an elaboration of the incidents in the old ballad, "The Boy and the Mantle." The author has, however, furnished a setting, chosen the time of the action, and made a few changes and additions, chief of which is the role assigned to Merlin, of whom the ballad makes no mention whatever. In the metrical version the elfin boy is the central figure; in the present story Merlin is the protagonist. The elfin is but the servant of the magician, at whose instance he comes to aid in the performance of an imperative but disagreeable duty.

Mrs. Parsley: The Cat on the Mantle and Other Stories
Author: Julian Padowicz
Publisher: Crossroad Press
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
"People who'd read Mrs. Parsley Makes a Delivery demanded more stories," author Julian Padowicz explains. Mrs. Parsley is a good witch. Only a tiny percentage of witches are actually evil, she says, but they, unfortunately, get most of the publicity. She, herself, uses her limited magical powers to help Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the various fairy godmothers, when they get overloaded. But, because her magical powers are limited, and she can't fly in and out through closed windows, turn pumpkins into coaches, or work her "smart phone," Mrs. Parsley is often forced to improvise. As reviews of the first book will attest, the resulting adventures are of interest and amusement to adults as well as children. Stories included in this collection: Mrs. Parsley Did This Snowballs Mrs. Parsley Helps on Valentine's Day Mrs. Parsley Talks to Zeke Mrs. Parsley and the Hunter Mrs. Parsley Pulls a Code Red Mrs. Parsley and Patti Schroeder The Cat on the Mantle Mrs. Parsley Attends Benny's Birthday Party Mrs. Parsley and the Squirrel Mrs. Parsley Visits the Bergs Mrs. Parsley and the House Without Doors Mrs. Parsley Meets the Sandman
