Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"The Magic City" by E. Nesbit is a children's book published in 1910. When Philip builds a giant model city from household objects to cope with his sister's absence, he discovers himself magically transported inside his own creation. Joined reluctantly by his new stepsister Lucy, Philip must complete seven great deeds to prove himself the prophesied Deliverer rather than the Destroyer, navigating a world populated by toy soldiers, Mr. Noah, and mysterious creatures.
