I received this book as a present and I am so pleased I was given it. Although it is officially a children's book, I found the story to be exciting enough for adults to read (like Tolkien's novels are), so I would recommend it to all.
The story begins when a thug tries to steal some items of power from Edric, a man of magic, but he is forestalled when Edric sends them to another time. Edric's servant, Orvin, is highly distressed about his master and worried about the items which have disappeared.
In the present day, a young boy called Robin loves to play with his computer games and watch fantasy films. He has something wrong with his leg and can't play as other children do so his mother encourages him to play outside. While helping his father in the garden, Robin finds a ring which his mother thinks may be silver and Robin is excited to show it to his cousin Oliver when he comes to stay. They both wish it was a magic ring, like the one in the Hobbit stories and are amazed to discover that this ring does have some magic properties. And so begins a series of adventures where the ring helps them to find Edric and they set about finding the lost magical items so that Edric can be reunited with them.
The magic described in this story is oh-so-believable and fits well alongside the modern-day characters. I am looking forward to reading more of Robin's adventures.

A thoroughly enjoyable children’s story. Ideal for ages 8 and upwards. It ticks all the boxes. A magic ring, a wizard, an adventure and the promise of more adventures to come. The old fashion language at the start of the book sets the tone. Afterwards the story is transferred to NOW and the adventure becomes apparent as the two protagonists strive to solve a series of clues. The short chapters helps to move the story along. Lovely read.

When Robin finds a ring it sends him and his friend Oliver on a fantastic quest, that trescends time, to find other magical items. This is an interesting and imaginative fantasy adventure that both children and the young at heart will appreciate. I read this to my son as his bedtime story and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We’re both looking forward to book 2.
