Through the Magic Door

Through the Magic Door is the remarkable memoir of the great children's book writer Ursula Moray Williams (1911-2006) whose classic titles The Little Wooden Horse and Gobbolino enthralled millions of readers. Drawing on unpublished diaries and letters, her own heart-warming story is told for the first time. From the crumbling, fairy-tale mansion of her youth, through love, faith, crises and sacrifices that brought deep insight into the worlds of children, it is a life as remarkable and inspirational as the adventures of her brave, fictional heroes.
