What to expect
Jimmy, Gerald, and Cathy hope to find adventure when they set off to explore the woods, but they get far more than they bargained for when they discover the Enchanted Castle. At first, they seem to be in a fairy tale come true, until a friend turns invisible, thanks to a magic ring she can’t remove. Adventure follows adventure as they seek to control the magic—but the magic has a will of its own, and it is all they can do to keep up. Faced with sleeping princesses, magic rings, and moonlit gardens filled with magic, the children must use all their courage and ingenuity to control the magic and solve the mystery surrounding the Enchanted Castle.
Critics Review
“The popular British author’s adventures of childhood have always been good read-aloud choices; the audiobook format superbly showcases them.”
u201c[Nesbit]u00a0was able to create a world of magic and inverted logic that was entirely her ownu2026There isu00a0something strange about [The Enchanted Castle] which sets it offu2026The mood is midnight.

And one must remember that a nightmare in those days was a serious matter for a child who had no electric light to switch on when a bad dream awakened him; he must continue in darkness, the shadows that menaced him undispelled.u201d
