Editorial Reviews:
The young adult adventure The Truth About Magic, narrated in jolly Scottish refrain by Stanley McGeagh, concerns Mr. Tipkins, a "gift giver" (i.e. elf wizard), who had to deliver a "gift" to a new baby, Alan.
Unfortunately, Tipkins was in the middle of one really bad day. It was a long and uncomfortable journey to find the baby (Tipkins flying carpet was out of commission - he instead having to fly on a cheap cushion) and when he finally did arrive, a final minor slight led Timpkins to lose his temper. And wizards with tempers should be avoided at all costs.
As a result, Timpkins gave baby Adam a much more powerful gift than intended. Oops.
Critic Reviews:
"Another fantasy novel with wizards, wands, magic schools and elves, and this is a good one." ( Magpies Magazine)

Spellbinding!
My kids (ages 3, 5, and 7) and I just listened to this in the car. We found ourselves driving around aimlessly so we could hear more of it at a time! My heard a bit about a third of the way in and started lobbying for the discs as soon as we were done with them. Definitely appeals to all ages. A teeny bit scary, just enough to be exciting. Fun characters and a satisfying plot.
