Description

Uncover the enchanting secrets of King’s Cross station in this captivating 25th anniversary edition of Eva Ibbotson’s beloved classic, The Secret of Platform 13.

Hidden beneath the hustle and bustle of Platform 13 lies a magical door that appears once every nine years, leading to a wondrous island. When the portal opens, four extraordinary figures – a wizard, an ogre, a fey, and a young hag – embark on a quest to London to rescue their kingdom’s prince, stolen as an infant nine years prior.

But the prince, now a spoiled rich boy named Raymond Trottle, has no understanding of magic and fiercely resists being saved. In this beautifully illustrated special edition, join a delightful cast of characters as they navigate a world where the ordinary and the enchanted collide.

The Secret of Platform 13 is a spellbinding adventure from award-winning author Eva Ibbotson, whose works include Journey to the River Sea. This anniversary edition features stunning artwork by Beatriz Castro, breathing new life into a timeless tale. For more magic, discover Sibeal Pounder’s captivating sequel, Beyond Platform 13, based on Ibbotson’s unforgettable characters.
