bookshelves: childrensbooks, fantasy, 20th-century, uk, re-read
Read 2 times. Last read June 1, 2021 to June 2, 2021.
My review:
Nesbit-like fantasy set in England. Four children, Jeremy, Jo and their cousins Douglas and Nigel, find the apple-stone inside a withered apple in an orchard. The apple-stone's magic brings things to life, including bookends resembling elephants, a lost glove, a stone gargoyle, a feather boa, a broom, a stone ball, a cage of butterflies, a toy rocket, a rug and so on, with unexpected and unnerving results (some scary aspects).

I always appreciate warnings of scary content.

This sounds great! I know i read The Seventh Swan by Nicholas Stuart Gray (I used to have the entire MagicQuest series, long gone alas) but I never came across any of his other books.
I've always wanted to read this one...
