(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Rowland Hilder. This newly edited precursor to The Box of Delights first introduces readers to young Kay Harker. While searching for a treasure that will elevate his circumstances and clear his great-grandfather's name, Kay encounters pirates, witches, and even King Arthur. The prose is dense, but readers looking for classic fantasy tales will be charmed by this story and its old-fashioned black-and-white illustrations.
