I absolutely loved The Toymakers. This was a truly magical tale set inside a magical toy emporium in 1940's London where the unimaginable happens! Covering a timespan of nearly 50 years, this book is a treasure trove packed full of surprises, magic and wonders of all shapes and sizes. When Cathy Wray finds herself on the doorstep of the unusual Papa Jack's Toy Emporium she is scared of the big changes taking place in her life. She hopes to find a job and somewhere to live but, as soon as she walks through those magical doors she realises that there is so much more to the Emporium than meets the eye. If you loved The Night Circus then you'll love The Toymaker! - Wade (QBD)
