Summary
A father takes his small son into a magic shop in Regent Street that he has walked past for years without ever quite managing to find twice.
Inside, the shopman is charming and faintly unnerving. The tricks work rather too well: things appear from places they cannot have been, a box holds more than its volume allows, and the boy is delighted by everything. The father begins to notice that the doors behind them are not where they were, that the shop is larger inside than out, and that the shopman has taken his son through a curtain into the back, where the real stock is kept.
First published in 1903, The Magic Shop is one of H.G. Wells’s finest short stories and a small masterpiece of unease: a gentle fantasy that tips, by degrees, into something a parent cannot quite laugh off.
Listen to the complete, unabridged audiobook of this classic Edwardian tale.
