<div>If the old toy soldier hadn't come to life, Roger would never have discovered the magic.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And<i> that </i>would never have happened if he and his sister, Ann, hadn't been sent to stay with their bossy cousins for the summer. And<i>that </i>wouldn't have happened at all if their father hadn't gotten sick and gone into the hospital.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But all of that <i>did </i>happen, and now Roger, his sister, and their cousins find themselves in a bygone world of chivalry and knighthood, of Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. In this knightly realm they can make a difference—and perhaps even save the person they most need to save—if only they are smart and brave enough, if only they are true to their hearts.</div>
