First edition, stated. "The hidden city of Mageia, is the home of magicians, 'Masters of Misdirection' where even the children can produce paper flowers from a tube, and know there is no such thing as magic. But no one in Mageia knows what makes a tree grow or why the stars come out at night. One day Adam the Simple, a wandering magician, and his dog, Mopsy, knocked at the city gates. No one then understood that he had a different kind of magic--one that could restore innocence, wonder, and awe." 203 pp. Wraparound dust jacket art by Bunty Miller.
