The Magic of Pan Ellen M James

Publisher Marketing: Jenny, an only child, awaits the arrival of her cousins with a degree of fear and trepidation. She lives comfortably in her own dream world and it is whilst sitting under the old oak tree in the garden that she comes into contact with one of the garden 'helpers' - the tree spirit. Of course, when her confident cousins, Tilly and George, arrive they don't believe a word she says, until, that is, they see 'helpers' of their own. And that is when the adventures really begin! The children meet Abbos, a very old man and monk-like figure, who becomes their guide and mentor throughout and who appears at some point during each of the tests that they are obliged to undertake. They discover a world of elementals who should be working and co-habiting happily under the leadership of the Great God Pan, a mythical creature. Unfortunately Pan has fallen into the never-ending sleep of great despair having seen the continuing damage that human beings are inflicting on his world and their great disrespect for the environment and all that Mother Earth has to offer. The children have to find a way to wake him before there is nothing left but concrete and waste. They have to help restore the Kingdom of Pan to its former glory and time is running out ..........
