Blurb: “A quietly enchanting fantasy from the creator of Doctor Dolittle, The Twilight of Magic captures a world at the moment wonder begins to fade. Lofting imagines a medieval village where magic, once commonplace, is slipping away, replaced by reason, rules, and the creeping modern age. What follows is a gentle, melancholic meditation on imagination, tradition, and what is lost when belief gives way to certainty.

This Grosset & Dunlap hardback features charming illustrations by Lois Lenski, including colorful endpapers that bring Lofting’s whimsical world to life. A lovely example of early 20th-century children’s fantasy, rich with fairy-tale atmosphere and quiet depth.

A perfect pick for collectors of classic children’s literature, illustrated fantasy, or fans of Lofting’s more reflective, lesser-known work, this is a book that lingers, like magic at dusk.”
