This is a very exciting collection of wintry short stories written by different celebrated children’s authors. Winter Magic is perfect as a stimulus for a winter-time writing project or for dipping into at story time. Inside the pages you will encounter mythical winter beasts, icy snow queens, dancing Nutcrackers and frozen worlds.
