The Toymakers

Do you remember when you believed in magic? *The Emporium opens with the first frost of winter. It is the same every year.

Now his sons, Kaspar and Emil, are just old enough to join the family trade. Into this family comes a young Cathy Wray homeless and vulnerable. The Emporium takes her in, makes her one of its own. But Cathy is about to discover that while all toy shops are places of wonder, only one is truly magical... ** All Identifiers : amazon:B06Y1CHWW9, goodreads:34846987, google:TQeXDgAAQBAJ, isbn:9781473551602, mobi-asin:NK3CIOXT4WWDUDNMOAR63XOQNMOOMITQ Number of Words in Auth: 2 Formats : EPUB Number of Formats : 1 Has Cover : Yes Single Author : Robert Dinsdale Original Source : Mirc New Files 02 14 U A Sorted Author by LN, FN: Dinsdale, Robert Title Length : 013 Title Parm D : The Toymakers Title Parm F : The Toymakers Title Parm A : The Toymakers Title Parm B : ( Record ID : 5969 Uncomma Author : Robert Dinsdale Num of Aut : 1 Do You Remember When You Believed In Magic?
