First in the Magic Trilogy. A clever, beautiful woman disguises herself as a mousy Scottish lass to keep the notoriously rakish Earl of Rothermere from marrying her, only to find she was chosen for that very reason. After the earl discards her, she sheds her dowdy facade to become London society's brightest star—rousing the ire and igniting the passions of her faithless husband.
Midsummer--or the summer solstice--occurs when the sun is at the height of its power, the faeries are most active, and the future can be uncovered with ease. Shakespeare even captured the mischief of the occasion in his play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This book explores Midsummer customs and bears witness to their power today.
In this utterly charming Regency, a witch, a wizard, a little magic and a mysterious love potion all bring about a comedy of errors on Midsummer's Eve. The beautiful Hippolyta's magical powers label her a witch. But her attraction to Julian makes her think that she is bewitched.
The first day of summer, Midsummer or Solstice, is the most magical day of the year. The lasses—Kaylyn, Kirsten, and Payton—and laddie, Jack, are back for a weeklong visit with Nana and Papa at their country home and are excited to see what mystical adventures are in store for them this time. See for yourself in Sandra McCone's fantastically magical story, Midsummer's Magic, and discover that the stories Nana tells really do come true.
Can Mimi undo the mayhem caused by her baking in this contemporary-fantasy retelling of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream? Eleven-year-old Mimi Mackson comes from a big Indian American family: Dad's a renowned food writer, Mom's a successful businesswoman, and her three older siblings all have their own respective accomplishments. It's easy to feel invisible in such an impressive family, but Mimi's dream of proving she's not the least-talented member of her family seems possible when she discovers a baking contest at the new bakery in town. Plus, it'll start her on the path to becoming a celebrity chef like her culinary idol, Puffy Fay. But when Mimi's dad returns from a business trip, he's mysteriously lost his highly honed sense of taste. Without his help, Mimi will never be able to bake something impressive enough to propel her to gastronomic fame. Drawn into the woods behind her house by a strangely familiar song, Mimi meets Vik, a boy who brings her to parts of the forest she's never seen. Who knew there were banyan trees and wild boars in Massachusetts? Together they discover exotic ingredients and bake them into delectable and enchanting treats. But as her dad acts stranger every day, and her siblings' romantic entanglements cause trouble in their town, Mimi begins to wonder whether the ingredients she and Vik found are somehow the cause of it all. She needs to use her skills, deductive and epicurean, to uncover what's happened. In the process, she learns that in life as in baking, not everything is sweet. . . .
A compendium of fairy tales and folklore that relate the magic and enchantment associated with the summer solstice festival of the British Isles and other parts of Europe.
"Bloody hell! Someone save me from piskies and meddling best friends." Beth is always running from love, life, and relationships. She doesn't want to be tied down and she always follows the motto "Find 'em, fuck 'em, and forget 'em." So when Beth finds herself running away again from another man, she chooses the darkest part of Cornwall to start a new life. But then she meets her neighbor. Liam is young, handsome, and a bona fide bachelor. He used to take great pleasure in the sun, beautiful waves, and sex life he seemed to easily find living in Cornwall... until tragedy struck and he lost everyone he cared about. Now he devotes his days in keeping his family's farm, and shuts himself away from society and his old life. If not for some confusing property lines, a car blocking the way, and a tractor in need of a clear path, Beth and Liam would not have met. But will serendipity, a couple of pixies, and an age-old prophecy be enough to get these two lost souls together? Or will they need more than just a pinch of Cornish magic?

The book, first published in 1988, examines the role of magic in Elizabethan and Shakespearean theatre. The author observes how certain plays, including Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest, rationalise the unrealism and improbabilities typical of romantic comedy as miracles wrought by specifically magical intervention. The author also explores the ways in which playwrights justify structural discontinuity by the working of magic. This title will be of interest to students of English Literature, Drama and Performance.
