Praise for this book

# -- -- "School Library Journal"
"It is to this book that I credit my own belief in the capacity of fiction to enlarge, enlighten, enliven. It remains one of the most important books in my reading life--it showed me what books could do. It made me want to become a writer, too." -- --Gregory Maguire, "bestselling author of WICKED"
"Magic in Concord, Massachusetts. Plus Emerson and Thoreau. This book (and its sequels) struck a deep chord in me early on." -- -- "Anne Nesbet, author"
"Reminiscent in structure of Alice In Wonderland, it gives full vent to fantasy in following the escapades of Eddy and Eleanor in a world of dreams and nightmares. The attempt to weave New England history into the main fabric--to incorporate Thoreau's and Emerson's ideas, is fascinating." -- -- "Kirkus"
