Description
Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes
is the utterly beguiling tale of a ten-year-old blind orphan who has
been schooled in a life of thievery. One fateful afternoon, he steals a
box from a mysterious traveling haberdasher-a box that contains three
pairs of magical eyes. When he tries the first pair, he is instantly
transported to a hidden island where he is presented with a special
quest: to travel to the dangerous Vanished Kingdom and rescue a people
in need. Along with his loyal sidekick-a knight who has been turned into
an unfortunate combination of horse and cat-and the magic eyes, he
embarks on an unforgettable, swashbuckling adventure to discover his
true destiny.
