With The Magic Pastry , author William Dumas has created an inspiring and imaginatve story in the classic Fairy-Tale tradition. Siblings Lucas and Bessina are as close and caring as any brother and sister can be, and today starts off just like any ordinary day. However, by the evening they are off on an adventure which will change their lives forever, not to mention their village of Wixbury! Start with two orphaned children, throw in a pinch of evil stepsister, add a generous helping of benevolent troll, and finally mix in one long-lost brother, and - voila, you have all the ingredients for The Magic Pastry!
