Magic Kingdom for Sale — SOLD! Featured

I was browsing the aisles of a bookstore, not intending to buy anything in particular when I stumbled upon Magic Kingdom for Sale — SOLD!.  At first I did not think much of it.  From its cover I thought that book was intended for the teenage population.  But, as I flipped through a first few pages, I thought the plot was interesting.  So, went to the counter and took home a copy of Magic Kingdom for Sale — SOLD!.  It was a good decision.  This is one of the most entertaining fantasy book I've read.



From the Publisher

Capture the fantasy, thrills, and far-flung adventure of the first three novels in Terry Brooks’s enchanting Magic Kingdom of Landover series–now for the first time in one gripping volume.

Chicago lawyer Ben Holiday can’t fathom what lies ahead when he purchases Landover–a magical kingdom of chivalry and sorcery–from Meeks, the mysterious seller who placed the ad. Weary and jaded, Ben clings to the ad’s promise: “Escape into your dreams.” But Landover is not the enchanted idyll he expected.

The kingdom is in ruin. The barons refuse to recognize Ben as King, a dragon is decimating the countryside, and a demon lord has challenged any prospective ruler to a fatal duel. To make matters worse, the Paladin, renowned champion of the Kings of Landover, seems to be merely a legend.

Ben’s only allies are a bumbling court magician, a talking dog turned court scribe, and the beautiful Willow, who is part girl, part tree. With his friends in tow, Ben sets out to claim the throne. But when Meeks decides he wants Landover back, Ben will face supernatural foes of every stripe to prove himself worthy of the kingship. The question is: Can he survive?



Magic Kingdom for Sale — SOLD! is a fun-filled fantasy tale that I highly recommend to kids of all ages.

Thanks for posting this. I also read this book a few years back and I have to agree, it was an excellent read. I still have the book and I am now tempted to re-read it again. By the way, who's playing the lead character?
Owner's reply

I checked IMDB and Wikipedia, but no details about the movie there. I thought I read something last year that Tom Hanks will be playing the lead, but I guess not.
