Book description
When twins Toby and Tess meet a mysterious old traveller, they're
fascinated by his magical tales of far-off places, strange
enchantments and unbelievable miracles. Each time he visits the
village he brings them a new tale and a special story-reminder from
the bundle that he carries on his back.
Most intriguing of all is the Map of Marvels, which shimmers and
shifts and invites the children to make incredible journeys of their own.
