Synopsis
The Bronte children first brought the twelve wooden soldiers to life, and now, more than a hundred years later, they are rediscovered by two modern-day Genii, Max and Jane. But the undaunted soldiers are now so dangerously previous that collectors from all over the world are searching for them. The modern Genii must find a place where the Twelve can be safe for ever. This is a story of great imagination, linking the present with the past

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: A delighful and imaginative story of bravery and magic, 6 Jul 2001 By A Customer When 8 year-old Max discovers some toy soldiers in the attic of the house his family have moved into in Yorkshire, he is delighted, but astounded to find that they come to life. Each has his own personality, invented by the Bronte children, as he gradually learns from a neighbour, a "brontyfan" (Max enjoys new words and their meanings, but this takes a bit of explaining! He lets his sister Jane into the secret, but is otherwise fiercely protective of his soldiers, especially where older brother Philip is concerned. When Philip answers a letter in the local paper and writes to an American academic who wants to buy the soldiers for £5,000, Max is horrified, and has to devise a way of rescuing the Twelve without insulting them, as they are very independent. The adventures are many, and are beautifully described - this is a magical book!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...
