"Makes you think that magic really exists!" - Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When nine-year-old Paul explores the hole dug for his backyard swimming pool, he unearths a box containing a magic ring which grants wishes. He soon learns the hard way that wishes don't always turn out as expected! "I simply fell in love with the story Celia and the Fairies, and Secrets of the Magic Ring is a delightful sequel, although it is also a wonderful stand-alone story. I continued to be surprised and thrilled as Paul's story unfolded, especially when it took turns that I didn't anticipate. Just when I was sure that it could not possibly end well, the cleverness of a nine-year old saved the day! This is an adventure that is sure to appeal to both boys and girls, and I can't wait to read it to my students." -- Stacy Romanjuk, Fourth Grade Teacher at Hart Ransom School in Modesto, California I bought this for my son after reading the reviews and he loved it. My son usually doesn't like books without tons of pictures that are about a car or vehicle of some sort. He was drawn into this story by the fast paced plot which has plenty of twists and turns and it has inspired him to want to listen to other chapter books. Yay!! Thank-you for helping my son to enjoy books! - C. Dowd Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Two starcrossed magicians engage in a deadly game of cunning in the spellbinding novel that captured the world's imagination. • "Part love story, part fable ... defies both genres and expectations." —The Boston Globe The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.

Discovered in 1973, the manuscript for this unpublished and untitled Jacobean play is transcribed in five hands. A long romance on the life and deeds of Tom a Lincoln, or the Red Rose Knight, it dates from around 1611 and appears to contain allusions to or echoes of Henry IV, Hamlet, King Lear, and Shakespeare's late plays. One scene is imitated from Thomas Heywood's Rape of Lucrece (1608), and this, together with the evidence of its vocabulary, raises the possibility that the play was written by Heywood. How much of the play is parody is not certain. In this edition, Proudfoot describes the manuscript and hands in detail, and provides contexts for the play's genre and authorship. There are texts of eleven other short pieces in the manuscript, including memoranda, and poems in English and Welsh.
