The Magic Mirror

by Roy Askham

Abigail is checking out her seventy five year old decrepit body in her mirror, and being a witch, she thinks she has control over her destiny to a large extent, but she is wrong as she quickly finds out when her mirror magically begins to speak and tells her that she has but one week to live.At first Abigail is very startled that her mirror is speaking and she thinks she is hearing things, however, she soon realises that the mirror actually speaks and is only trying to help her.After arguing with her mirror for a while, Abigail finally accepts that she needs to do as instructed, and that is, she needs to allow herself to be transported back in time through her mirror, at which time she will have to fix up all her bad deeds. If she does this, she will magically be reverted back to thirty years of age, and she will be allowed to live forever. Although this feat may prove virtually impossible due to all her previous bad deeds.

Magic Mirror - All ages will enjoy this magical tale.

Never have I read a book that made me smile this much!
Magic Mirror is a great tale of a witch and her past. Similar to A Christmas Carol (Scrooge) by Charles Dickens, the witch (Abigail) is able to reflect upon her past mistakes to right the wrongs she once committed. The morals of being kind to others and how beauty lies within are expressed through creative storytelling. Written with great humour, Magic Mirror is a story which flows organically and is an ease to read. From witty dialogue to vivid imagery, the reader will find it difficult to put this book down. Complete with spells, magical objects, evil twins, and wonderful battles between witches, this is a story brimming with excitement.
