Elizabeth Winthrop

A little girl finds so many things to do before she is ready for bed that she is the last of her family to fall asleep.

Lucy and Henry are brother and sister, who--even though they're twins--don't do everything the same way.

Twelve-year-old William uses the magic token to return, through the toy castle in his attic, to the medieval land of Sir Simon, which is now menaced by a skeleton ship bearing a plague of ravenous rats.

A gift of a toy castle, complete with silver knight, introduces William to an adventure involving magic and a personal quest.
