The "Magic Compass" by Douglas Arthur Brown. Set in the enchanted Island Kingdom, "The Magic Compass" is a delightful Christmas adventure for children, to be read aloud, one chapter at a time, on each of the days of December leading up to Christmas. The story’s rich narrative, unforgettable characters, playful humour and full-colour illustrations make this book a great family read that is sure to become a holiday tradition. The Island Kingdom is inhabited by humans, trolls and nisses (elves) who embark on spirited, sometimes perilous escapades as they anticipate and prepare for Christmas. Day by day as the story unfolds, many mysterious and wondrous things are revealed: the secrets of the Nisse Hand Book; the trolls’ Vat of Boiling Milk; the wizard’s Book of Charms; and of course the Magic Compass. For over two decades, "The Magic Compass" has been entertaining families around the world. In 2000, the Nova Scotia Department of Education placed the book in all provincial elementary schools.
