Ilangoria by Mila Rada

Well,well! Just like the main character, the little girl Ilangoria, it seems you’ve been pulled through the mushroom rings of those troublesome witches into a real magical world, to yet another grand enchanted tea party! I’d advise you not to fall behind now because magical realities tend to vanish without a trace! Hurry! Pour yourself a strong cup of tea, pick a sweet treat that suits you, and start reading my magical books! Ahead of us lie the most unimaginable adventures! You do want to know what tales the stars whisper to each other when they descend from the sky to play cards with foxes or share a cup of Chinese oolong tea, don’t you? What dance to perform to travel from the Witch’s Ridge to the Emerald Hills or to the beautiful Autumn in her magical realm? What do mermaids dislike and why do they live in the branches rather than in ponds? How can you make your shadow find something valuable, and why shouldn’t you keep Kostroma in your house?
