When I was in elementary school, and mostly hanging around the library shelves near Charlie's Factory and Encyclopedia Brown's garage, my librarian handed me this book, and I realized how much of the unexposed portions of the library had the potential to be this wonderful!

It tells the story of a travelling magician in the old west and his family as they set out from city to city putting on shows and having the most humorus and delightful adventures along the way. Particularly for those interested in magic, it will entrance the curious and amuse those looking to be entertained.

This is the story of a family that travels doing a magic act. In the late summer of 1884 they leave Texas to travel to California to start a new life. Their brightly colored red wagon with the name MR. MYSTERIOUS & COMPANY painted in foot high gold letters is meant to attract attention and it sure does work!!! One adventure along dusty trail to another exciting adventure kept my children in love with this book. The cute and whimsical illustrations by Eric von Schmidt are especially appealing. Buy this book and enjoy!!!!!
