Description
Three magical fantasy books are brought together in an exclusive ebook bind-up: 'The Sword in the Stone', 'The Phantom Tollbooth' and 'Charmed Life'.
The Sword in the Stone
When the wizard Merlyn comes to tutor Sir Ector's sons, Kay and the Wart, studying suddenly becomes much more exciting. After all, who wouldn't enjoy being turned into a fish, or a badger, or a snake? But the Wart is destined for greater things and Merlyn's magical teachings are only the beginning of his amazing future...
The Phantom Tollbooth
When Milo finds an enormous package in his bedroom, he's delighted to have something to relieve his boredom with school. And when he opens it to find One Genuine Turnpike Tollbooth, he gets right into his pedal car and sets off through the Tollbooth for a magical journey! Once home, can hardly wait to try out the Tollbooth again. But will it be still there when he gets back from school?
Charmed Life
Everybody says that Gwendolyn Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers, so it suits her enormously when she is taken to live in Chrestomanci Castle. Her brother Eric (better known as Cat) is not so keen, for he has no talent for magic at all. However, life with the great enchanter is not what either of them expects and sparks begin to fly!

Reviews / Votes
Praise for T. H. White:"Funny and wise" Cressida Cowell, author of 'How to Train Your Dragon'
Praise for Norton Juster:
'Think Alice in Wonderland for the modern age. Brilliant'. The Guardian
'The most unpredictable, the most stimulating children's book I have read for a very long time. Words, numbers, cliches, proverbs are taken literally, imaginatively or punningly in an enthralling and very funny dazzle of mental fireworks.' The Sunday Times
Praise for Diana Wynne Jones:
"Truly magical - guaranteed to leave you gasping - even hotter than Potter"
The Bookseller
"Diana Wynne Jones could teach Stephen King and JK Rowling a thing or two ... [she] has a skill for inserting just the right amount of detail in her written words, leaving you satiated but not stuffed." SFX
