Dear friends, In our fast-paced and tech-driven world, it's easy to lose sight of the magic that once filled our lives. The simple joys and enchantment that used to be present in even the most mundane activities seem to have faded away. But I believe it's possible to bring back the magic into our lives, to rekindle that sense of wonder and fascination that we often find ourselves longing for. One way to bring back the magic is by reawakening our imagination. As adults, we often forget the power and significance of our imagination. We get caught up in the practicalities of life and dismiss the fantastical possibilities that lie within our minds.
Edward Eager (1911–1964) worked primarily as a playwright and lyricist. It wasn’t until 1951, while searching for books to read to his young son, Fritz, that he began writing children’s stories. His classic Tales of Magic series started with the best-selling Half Magic, published in 1954. In each of his books he carefully acknowledges his indebtedness to E. Nesbit, whom he considered the best children’s writer of all time—“so that any child who likes my books and doesn’t know hers may be led back to the master of us all.”
For fans of such favorite series as The Penderwicks and The Vanderbeekers, the books were called truly magic in a reader s hands by Jack Gantos, Newbery Medal winner for Dead End in Norvelt. I think the third book, A Tale of Sorcery , ended in a cliffhanger, because Xanthous and Elrik go to the Demon World and we also don t know what happened to the Immortal.
We get caught up in the practicalities of life and dismiss the fantastical possibilities that lie within our minds. But if we allow ourselves to dream, to let our imaginations run wild, we open the door to a world of magic. We can create stories, explore new ideas, and look at the world through a different lens.
Tales of Magic — by Edward Eager
It all begins with a strange coin on a sun-warmed sidewalk. Jane finds the coin, and because she and her siblings are having the worst, most dreadfully boring summer ever, she idly wishes something exciting would happen. And something does: Her.
Book - 2If the old toy soldier hadn't come to life, Roger would never have discovered the magic. And that would never have happened if he and his sister, Ann, hadn't been sent to stay with their bossy cousins for the summer. And that wouldn't have happen.
Book - 3When wishing for magic, it's hard not to wish for too much. If Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha had stopped to think -- oh, if they had only stopped to think! -- they would have ordered magic by the pound, or by the day, or even by the halves as .
Book - 4Time and again, the children from Knight's Castle have longed for another magic adventure. But you can't find magic just anywhere. It doesn't just grow like grass. It requires the right place and the right time -- Or thyme, as the case may be. .

By embracing our imagination, we invite the magic back into our lives. Another way to bring back the magic is to reconnect with nature. In the hustle and bustle of our daily routines, we often forget the beauty and wonder that surrounds us. We become disconnected from the natural world and the magic it holds. But if we take the time to appreciate the intricacy of a flower, the majesty of a sunset, or the soothing sound of raindrops, we can rekindle that sense of awe and wonder. Nature is a constant source of magic, waiting to be rediscovered. Furthermore, bringing back the magic involves cultivating a sense of gratitude and mindfulness. When we rush through life without acknowledging the small moments of joy and beauty, we miss out on the magic that they hold. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice and appreciate the little things that bring us happiness. Whether it's a smile from a stranger, a kind gesture from a loved one, or the taste of our favorite meal, these moments have the power to infuse our lives with magic. By being present and mindful, we can fully experience the wonder of these moments and allow them to transform our daily lives. Lastly, to bring back the magic, we must dare to embrace our childlike curiosity. Children possess an innate sense of wonder and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. As adults, we often dismiss this curiosity as childish or unimportant. However, by nurturing our curiosity, we open ourselves up to new experiences, new ideas, and new perspectives. When we approach the world with a sense of wonder and curiosity, we invite magic into our lives. We see the extraordinary in the ordinary and find joy in the simplest of things. So, dear friends, let us strive to bring back the magic into our lives. Let us embrace our imagination, reconnect with nature, practice gratitude, and nurture our childlike curiosity. In doing so, we can rediscover the enchantment that once filled our lives and infuse our days with a sense of wonder and awe. The magic is waiting for us; all we have to do is reach out and take hold of it. With love and belief in the extraordinary, [Your Name].
