A YA adventure from World Fantasy Award winning author James P. Blaylock. A suddenly appearing curiosity shop owned by a small man who might, or might not, be the Man in the Moon; a pair of strange spectacles buried in a fishbowl full of marbles; an old window glazed with sea-green glass found beneath a suburban house; and two adventurous boys who buy the spectacles and climb through the window into a land of goblins, ghosts, and rope ladders that reach to the moon... Who exactly is Mr. Deener, the fat man who makes magic out of bits of coloured glass, has a passion for glazed doughnuts, and whose seeming twin brother sleeps fitfully in an attic room? And who are the little men who ride out of the forest on windblown sycamore leaves in order to whisper into Mr. Deener's ear? Is Mr. Deener, like a fallen Humpty Dumpty, broken apart? John and Danny need to know. To find their way home they'll have to put Mr. Deener back together again and solve the mystery of the sleeping land - a task that leads them to the pool of reflections in the deep woods and ultimately to a house built of light and magic and memory that sits at the edge of the heart's ocean. PRAISE FOR JAMES P. BLAYLOCK: "Blaylock is one of the most brilliant of that new generation of fabulist writers." -- Washington Post Book World "Blaylock allows us to see the mundane world through new eyes, to perceive the familar as strange and therefore fascinating - for what it is as well as for what it might be." -- Charles de Lint "[Blayock has]...a gift for drawing characters who are eccentric in delightful and original ways, whichever side of the war they are on." -- Publishers Weekly

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ...come, that she might call upon her friends, the notes, who lived in the various lines and spaces, and give her new method of learning another trial. She found she could remember her lesson much better than ever before. Her careful attention to the lines and spaces, and the names of the notes on them; the comparison of one with another, and the living interest excited by making them talk to her, had so fixed them in her memory that she found no difficulty in recalling them. The hour passed pleasantly away, and she was surprised, when her mother called her, to find the time had been so short. Now she was to put the reality of her possession of a magical power to another and severer test. Clara was a quick, nervous, and restless girl, and all kinds of confinement and patient attention to little things were very irksome to her. Sewing was her especial dislike. She had not the patience to take stitch after stitch, to make them even, and keep her work straight. Her mother, however, thought it necessary for her to learn to sew, and a part of two days in the week was spent in doing it. "Now," she thought, "if I can see how to do my sewing well, and can learn to like it, I shall know for certain that I have some new and magical power." She took up her work with more interest than usual, though it was more difficult and trying than she had ever attempted before. Her mother prepared her work for her; told her how to do it, and cautioned her to be patient and do it as nicely as she could. "Now I shall need my spectacles," she said to herself, "and I must remember how to use them. 'One thing at a time.' That is certainly good advice in sewing. 'Look sharp.' That I must do or I shall get the stitches long and short, ...

I was at the library one day, browsing through some pictorial journals, when my eye caught sight of a copy of National Geographic, It contained some very exciting photographs of wild life, the planets in the solar system and beautiful exotic plants. I wanted to have a copy of these pictures, but there was no way I could. I had a camera with me, but taking photographs was prohibited in the library. To add to my woes, the photocopy machine was out of order. I was wearing my glasses and it was then that an idea struck me. What if my reading glasses could copy these photos? Would it be possible? What if by reading the whole text of any publication – a book, magazine or even a film – it could be recorded just like a voice on tape? It would be a truly thrilling experience! However, such recording glasses would have to be specially manufactured. These thoughts led me to writing “The Man with The Magic Spectacles.” I thought of a plot, story line, location and characters, and quickly fitted all of these together. My co- writer, Martha Jette has helped me by adding chapters, developing characters and editing the entire manuscript.

I was inspired to write this book because I was bullied as a child. I know how cruel children can be, but also how most children who bully are not bad children. I believe that all children are good inside. I began this book in 2007 and I have worked on it over the last few years with the help of many family members and friends. In the beginning, my cousin Shayda gave me the wonderful and necessary child perspective. My brother Zachary was the inspiration for the name, but not the character. I want to thank my older sister, Sarah, my husband, Gary, and my college roommate, Michelle, for being inspirations for the names of the other characters. Thank you also to my supporters and editors: Mom, Dad, Cathy, and Stephen. Thank you Gary for supporting me through all parts of my life. Thank you Robert Fuller for encouraging me to write this book. Lastly, I would like to thank my elementary school teachers, Ms. Chong and Ms. Masatani, for helping me edit this book for the elementary audience. I hope this book helps parent's teach their children empathy, respect, and dignity. I hope this book gives a voice to the child who is being bullied at school, but also provides a role model to the child who bullies. Enjoy!

This story is the first in the Magical Murphy Farm series. The Murphy Family Farm is an enchanted farm that owes much of its success to an agreement made between the Murphys and the Fairy Folk over a century ago in Ireland. With over a hundred acres of farm land, the fairies and enchanted creatures work together to help the Murphy Family keep the farm prosperous enough to be generous to the community. The fairy folk call the Murphy Farm Lismore Baile, their words for "Bountiful Home." The wondrous world of Lismore Baile awaits! In this first book, young Brooke Murphy enjoys life living on a her family's centennial farm. The Murphy Family Farm has prospered for over a century, producing better than any farm in the area. Life on a farm couldn't be better for Brooke and her animal friends. One day, she decides to go for a walk in her mother's elaborate garden. On her way there, she finds some magical spectacles that allow her to see fairy folk and magical creatures. Brooke becomes more and more excited during her adventure while learning about the inner workings of the farm she calls home. As she ventures down the hidden path of the garden, she greets the enchanted people of Lismore Baile, a magical realm where fantasy meets reality and the two work together to bring in the harvest. Brooke is given an errand by one of the fairies, one that she has to get done before bed time. Some of the characters she meets include the flower fairies Marigold and Violet. Aurora is another fairy that Brooke meets along the way. Aurora helps keep the farm warm with some special help from her friend Fireglide (a volcano dragon). Everyone has something to do to keep the Murphy Farm thriving, including Brooke. Brooke learns from Lily (possibly the last water nymph of her kind) that fairies and magical creatures have always been a part of the Murphy Family Farm. After so many adventures, how will Brooke get safely home before it gets dark? With time running out, perhaps a little magic is needed. Perfect reader for ages 9+ or great to read to children of any age. Adults will also like this uplifting story. This story emphasizes helping others, being thankful and the rewards for being generous.
