When Mr Curry the headmaster announces The Great Gazebo is coming to visit the school, Albert's big sister Fionnuala tells him awful tales of the powers of magicians, especially over seven-year-old boys.
'They appear in a cloud of smoke and red sparks and they kidnap boys,' she tells him, and they take them to 'foreign lands that is all desert and absolutely crawling with snakes and scorpions and rats and tarantulas'.
Poor Albert is terrified!
When a funny-looking old man turns up at the school gate in a cloud of smoke on a big old motorbike, Albert kindly helps him carry his bags - only to find out that this is the magician
and now he has a special interest in Albert!
New edition of this popular title, with lively and humorous illustrations by Martin Fagan.
