THE MAGIC SHOP

by Maurice Dolbier ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A medley of magic spoofing, with a Faustian villain, Shakespearean Oberon and Puck, a magic carpet, and a perfectly plain family of modern New Yorkers. When Denise and Dick Benton find a Magic Shop and buy a wand for their father's birthday gift, they soon find out what an unusual gift it is. How Woofles, the dog, saved the wand from the wicked wielder of black magic, and how he turned the villain into an unhappy lamp post, makes gay reading aloud, with a pleasant sulphurous tinge for more adult readers.
