The Prehistoric Prologue
Jump inside the Magic Bookcase series, the latest in Scottish History for young readers!
​
Maggie thinks Granda might be pulling her leg when he reveals that the huge bookcase sitting in his living room is, in fact, magical.
​
Not until they lay one of its books open on the carpet and jump inside does she start to believe - and then the adventure begins!
​
Join Maggie and Granda as they take a step inside Scotland's history to meet some of its first inhabitants, making a life for themselves after the last ice age.
​
They'll have to watch their step, however, because it won't be easy explaining their presence to people who still use stone tools and make their living from the land...
​
Whilst safety may not be guaranteed, one thing is for sure: Maggie is about to embark on the most hands-on history lessons any kid has ever had!
And the adventure continues in
Book Two...

The Roman Rumpus
Join Maggie and Granda on their second adventure with The Magic Bookcase!
​
It's the summer holidays at last and that can only mean one thing - plenty of time for more magical adventures for Maggie and Granda.
Journeying into the past again, they continue their quest to learn about Scotland's history following on from their Stone Age adventure with a foray into the Metal Ages, just as the Romans are arriving on the shores of Britannia.
​
Maggie has a lot to learn about the Romans and their ways - and just as much to learn about the Caledonian tribes they came to conquer. The stakes are now raised because in such unstable times, the past-peoples won't mess around if they catch our intrepid adventurers where they shouldn't be.
Meanwhile, Wally is off on an adventure of his own...
​
With plenty of magic, a good dash of danger, lots of learning, (and even a couple of elephants!), this adventure is sure to be as exciting as the last, but what Maggie and Granda really need to learn is the art of blending in...
​
For there's a rumpus brewing and Maggie, Granda and Wally are about to get themselves caught-up right in the middle of it!
