Customer Reviews

The Magic Lantern of Kimbustan
I loved the way in this book you didn't know what was happening to begin with and they had to work it out as they went along. It made it more exciting. My favourite child in the book was Tim because he took the lead and was ever so brave.

I loved it when the tiger chased after Kelly and when they all opened the Treasure Chest. The book is so full of surprises it makes you feel part of the book. I loved it.

Mixed views!
The story was good, but (more than anything) I was surprised by how little thought went into the production of the book itself - it came across as quite cheap and "unexciting", not the sort of book that jumped off the shelf at you, and certainly not one that you would enjoy the "touch and feel" of, something (as a book collector) I always look for in a book. It did not do the story justice.

A magical story
My daughter was given this book to read and this is her review.

I really enjoyed reading this book because of the way reality turned into dreams. I really liked Aunt Irene because she has a charm about the way she acts.

It was a very exciting book especially when Irene and Agnes are trapped with the Indian mob on one side and the British army on the other. I loved it.
