The Enchanted Castle is a fairy tale for children that tells the story of Jerry, Cathy, and Jimmy, who are spending their vacation at Cathy's school. One day, when they are exploring the village around the school, they meet Mabel, the niece of the housekeeper. She puts on a ring and the magic starts.
This is a fun story that is enjoyable for children of all ages. The children have a go at being invisible, see statues come to life, and try to be kind and helpful to the French governess taking care of them. It is an easy story and it is full of imagination.
I have a silly habit of making a mental list of the books that I will share with any children I may have in the future: The Secret Garden and a book of princess tales for the girls, stories about knights and adventures for the boys, etc. This is one that I hope I can read to either.

The mental list is not at all silly. I actually have a shelf on which I keep my favorite childhood novels, to share with my daughter when she's old enough.
