Beloved by children (and the parents lucky enough to share it with them) since it was first published in 1954, Half Magic is the uproarious tale of four siblings who discover a charm that grants exactly half of whatever they wish for--with results that are twice as predictable (and hilarious) as you might expect.

Transported back to my childhood and glad to be.
Would you listen to Famous Five: Five Go Off In A Caravan again? Why?
As a boy I read everything that Enid Blyton wrote. It was a rite of passage for people of my generation. As you grew a little older you went from the Secret Seven books to The Five Finder Outers series to reading The Famous Five.
What did you like best about this story?
The joy of a long forgotten time and the sort of children's stories I grew up with, having the kind of adventures which I always hoped that someday I and my friends would have.
Have you listened to any of Jan Francis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first Jan Francis performances I have heard, and I would happily listen to others, she does a great job.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Would love to be able to obtain other titles in this series, so far I can find only one other, please add more.
