About this listen
Three children - Jerry (bossy), Jimmy (hungry), and Kathleen (sensible) - find themselves standing in front of a bejewelled princess in the garden of an enchanted castle. It is the first day of their summer holidays. Is she really a princess? And if she isn't, what about her ring, which makes the wearer invisible? This ring, combined with the children's appetite for exploring, sparks a tale full of vivid adventures and extraordinary characters.
With "ugly-wugglies" on the loose, statues alive in the moonlight and crimes needing to be solved, there is never a dull moment. Imagination is powerful; magic is possible.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Editor reviews
Edith Nesbit crafts an adventure in which three children on summer vacation encounter an enchanted castle and a magic ring. While the story may be a hundred years old, Joanna Page brings freshness and urgency to the tale. Her children live up to their descriptors - officious Jerry, nonchalant Jimmy, and practical Kathleen - and they're brought to life with just the right amount of a British accent. Page moves the narration briskly, letting the layers and intricacies of the story shine - from the children's first realization of the ring's power to the coming to life of the Ugly Wugglies. Try this over school vacation.
