Edith King Hall
Adventures in Toyland Paperback Book
Adventures in Toyland (1897) is a childrens novel by Edith King Hall. The fifth of seven relatively unknown childrens novels by Edith King Hall is a quirky, fun, and incredibly original story for children and adults alike. Reminiscent of E. T. A. Hoffmanns "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," Adventures in Toyland is an underappreciated classic from a master of Victorian fiction. "All sorts of toys were to be found in that toyshop. It was truly a place to please any child! A little girl, who had come to stay there with her auntthe owner of the shopand her little cousin, was always to be found amongst the toys she was forever picking up and admiring this one, stroking that one, nursing another. All her spare moments were spent in the shop." While playing in her aunts toy shop, a young girl has a magical encounter with a mysterious Marionette, who informs her that the world of toys is just as real as the world of human beings. Given the chance to speak with the Marionette for two weeksafter which the toy will go silent foreverthe young girl enjoys tales of conflict and adventure set in a wonderful kingdom of creatures and toys alike. From the tale of "The Rabbit and the Mouse" to the story of Belinda the wax doll and Jack, "the curlyheaded SailorBoy," Hall never ceases to astound.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
