Anything can happen in The Magic Bookshop...

On rainy afternoons, when it's too wet to play outside after school, Ben goes to his grandfather's bookshop. But with secret doors and passages, and tigers under the floorboards, there's much more going on than Ben could ever have imagined.

An enchanting new collection of fully illustrated stories from two much-loved Australian creators, and the perfect gift for any young booklover.

"The Fairy Dancers is simply stunning...making it the perfect keepsake gift book" - Children's Books Daily

"This book is perfect for children who want more of a reading challenge than a picture book provides, but may not yet be ready for a complete chapter book. It's beautiful to both read and look at" - The Daily Telegraph
