The Muggles are little people with features resembling babies. Children's book author and artist N. K. Stouffer created the Muggles, and the place they inhabit, Aura. It's a world where a purple haze cloaked the dreary moonlit sky, until the arrival of two unexpected visitors. In another land far from the shoreline of Aura, war was raging, and Lady Catherine launched a raft with precious cargo aboard, her two infant sons. She wrapped the boys in royal blankets and quilts, and packed a jewel box filled with bright rubies and other gemstones between them. The raft drifted away with no chartered destination but the babies' survival. Adrift on the ocean, the babies are fed and cared for by mythical messengers, a kindly sea cow, and his barracuda friend who pulls the floating cradle through the Southern Sea of Nu, and to the shores of the Muggles' homeland. The arrival of the infants would forever change life as the Muggles had known it on Aura.

Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories
by Washington Irving William L. HedgesBefore the fall premiere of the new television series, read the original legend of Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horseman, and the singularly spooky town of Sleepy Hollow in Washington Irving's classic book When Washington Irving first published this collection of essays, sketches, and tales--originally entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.--readers greeted it with enthusiasm, and Irving emerged as America's first successful professional author. This volume includes "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," two of America's most recognizable and loved works of fiction and displays Irving's ability to depict American landscapes and culture so vividly that readers feel themselves a part of them. And it is on the basis of these two classic tales that Irving is generally credited with inventing the short story as a distinct literary genre. Also included here are gently ironic pieces about life in England that reflect the author's interest in the traditions of the Old World and his longings for his home in the New.
