I always remember this book when I was little. Somehow it got stolen when we had our book case in storage or something. So for years (yes years) I searched for this book on ebay. I finally found one for close to $150. No way was I going to pay that for a book! Then finally I found one for $15. Its really short and kids book, but I think its neat because I remember it and loved it when I was little. It is a 1952 JOLLY CHILDREN’S BOOK “THE MAGIC KEY” – STORY BY MARY FRANCIS, ILLUSTRATIONS BY SYLVIA HOLLAND – PUBLISHED BY AVON BOOKS. It must have been my Mom’s but I just love the little pictures inside and I love the story… just neat and fun! I read it tonight to the boys. They love it too.

This is another one that took me a while to find. The pictures are sooo neat and just fun! Boys love this at Christmas time. My cover actually looks a bit different than this picture… but you get the idea.

A sample of the inside..
