The Door In the Tree The Magician's House Series, Book 3

It is spring and William, Mary and Alice Constant have returned to Golden House for the Easter holidays, anxious to see if the magic will work again. When they are drawn to the Magician's hideout, through a door in a tree, they learn that the secret to magic is believing; and through believing they can enter the magic and continue their great task. It is deep autumn and William, Mary and Alice Constant have returned to Golden House for the half-term holidays. Matthew Morden is on the point of discovering for himself the art of time travel and his evil influence is permeating the whole valley. Now the future of the valley depends on the children reaching the Magician in his own time. William, Mary and Alice Constant have come to spend Christmas with their uncle as their parents are working abroad. There are powerful forces at work, calling to the children from across the centuries; forces that pull them up the hidden steps in the chimney to the secret room where the magician lives. Kitty is a stray puppy with a lust for life and a thirst for adventure. But the world can be a dangerous place for a young dog with no-one to look after her, so it looks as though her travels will never get started. Then she meets Bailey, another stray, who becomes Kitty's beloved travelling companion As three children spend their vacation at their uncle's farmhouse in Wales, they discover powerful forces of magic and are drawn into exciting adventures--along with important roles to play in the eternal battle of good and evil. Mary sensed there was something wrong as soon as they reached the house.
