The Midnight Folk John Masefield Vintage Children's Book Folio Edition First Thus Slipcase

Kittys Notes:

The best children's books always have a happy ending. And "The Midnight Folk" by author John Masefield is no exception.

One of my favourite stories as a child this marvellous book is a magical tale of the world of childhood seen through the eyes of Kay Harker as he embarks on his wondrous adventures. A child who loves animals is magically enabled to become one with the creatures he loves, animals can talk and he can even become one of them "The Midnight Folk" of the story based around the wildlife Masefield remembers from his own childhood and of course a magical black cat.

Sublime fantasy enables this adventure to reach even more heights of excitement, flying on winged horses and sailing a model ship manned by mice are just a few of the magical moments that make everything about this story utterly delightful.

Excerpt from "The Midnight Folk" by John Masefield:

"After a time he did not think that it was a guitar, but a voice calling to him, 'Kay, Kay, wake up.' Waking up, he rubbed his eyes: it was broad daylight but no one was there. Someone was scraping and calling inside the wainscot, just below where the pistols hung. There was something odd about the daylight; it was brighter than usual; all things looked more real than usual. 'Can't you open the door, Kay?' the voice asked. There never had been a door there; but now that Kay looked, there was a little door, all studded with knops of iron. Just as he got down to it, it opened towards him, there was Nibbins, the black cat.

'Come along, Kay,' Nibbins said, 'we can just do it while they're at the banquet; but don't make more noise than you must.'

Kay peeped through the door. It opened from a little narrow passage in the thickness of the wall.
'Where does it lead to?' he asked.
'Come and see,' Nibbins said...."
