Come on a high-flying adventure with Johnny and Janey as they travel from their own backyard to the mysterious enchanted kingdom they discover on the other side of the moon. When Johnny and Janey build their Flying Machine out of old boards and wooden spools, the last thing they expect is to actually take off! But that's just what happens, and before they know it, they're soaring high above the clouds on their way to the Magical Land of Noom. Filled with such wonders as mushrooms that taste of ginger cake, and flowing springs of lemonade, Noom seems like a paradise to the children. But soon they discover there is a wicked magician-and the plot thickens. . . . This engaging tale, filled with quirky characters, is the brainchild of Johnny Gruelle, creator of Raggedy Ann and Andy. Although The Magical Land of Noom never gained the enormous popularity of the Raggedy Ann and Andy stories, it is arguably one of Gruelle's finest and most unforgettable works. Sought after by collectors and passed on from generation to generation, Gruelle's exquisite watercolor panels and whimsical pen-and-ink drawings have delighted readers for years.
