The story of Clare and Sarah and their adventures in the magical world of Oakbark will entrance its young audience.

Here are the real make-believe characters that seem to come to life, Desmond, the poor dragon who has lost his voice, the dreaded Mudwig, and the reliable, friendly Elgee.

And then - there is Duckolly! Duckolly is an umbrella, a brolly with a duck's head for a handle... but, Duckolly can talk! And when you mix that with a spell that, unless you've got it just right, can deliver you a fridge instead of a bridge... well, you've got to be careful.

This is a story full of imagination, and hours of fun.
