Faulty Batch of product. Beware. August 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Just a quick note that I've had 3 of these and returned every one.

The other reviewer noted:
"as a nice touch the paper edges are uneven and different sizes to give them an old spooky book feel".

The hardcover books are defective and have unfortunately only been trimmed on 2 rather than 3 edges of each page.

If you don't get a faulty batch I'm sure it would be a good product.

Magical Set for ages 7 and up July 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I was really pleased with this set. The trunk is sturdy cardboard and has a hidden magnetic snap shut closure all along the front edge - slightly magical in the way it clunks shut. It is decorated on every side on the outside and on the inner lid.

The 5 story books are hardback about 100 pages long and as a nice touch the paper edges are uneven and different sizes to give them an old spooky book feel. It does make it a little difficult to turn the pages which may put off younger readers. The postcards are sealed together in sellophane and the 215+ page notebook is paperback.

It is slightly smaller than I imagined but a lovely looking set and would make an ideal gift (athough get Amazon to deliver to a gift address as it's very heavy).

The stories themselves are wonderfully magical and should appeal to any Harry Potter fan. They are wonderfully illustrated with black and white drawings but also a colour plate on each first page giving them an old book feel. The books are short but make wonderful stories to read aloud for children and easier books to finish for junior readers age 7+.

The books in the set are American versions - the prices are in dollars and the books themselves are full of American language like 'Mom' etc which is to be expected as the book is about 3 American children who move into a spooky house and get into dangerous adventures with all manner of mystical and magical creatures.

Highly Recommended.
