Passing Magic Down from the Old to the Young

This beautifully illustrated story book tells what happens when a grandfather and young granddaughter take a walk to an enchanted place that grandpa remembers from his youth. An old inn on the seashore is about to be torn down and Grandpa shares a legend about it with his granddaughter. While they are present the legend's prophesy comes true right before their eyes!This lovely story is filled with atmosphere and anticipation. It shows the loving process of passing along the secrets and subtle magic of life from one generation to another. It's short and sweet and satisfying and makes a comfy bedtime story for little ones to ponder as they drift off to dreamland.
