The merrythought
Dick King-Smith1993

Suppose the magic only works for the whole wishbone, the whole merrythough ? Bet no one's ever though of trying that !
Nick's inspired idea to stick the pulled wishbone together has astonishing results - old Mrs Pargeter makes a miraculous recovery; Piglet, his greedy dog, goes on a self-imposed diet, and Nick gets picked for the First XI. With so much magic at his fingertips, Nick's imagination runs riot. But what if the merrythought were to fall into the wrong hands ?
