What would you wish for if you had one wish that really could be granted—anything in the world or beyond it? Health? Wealth? Knowledge? Immortality? Power? This is the story of a wishing well with the amazing ability to give people just that—their deepest desires. Whoever controls the well can control the fate of nations—or can they? Join the desperate race to discover its whereabouts. New friends are made and old enemies are reunited, but one thing is sure—no one who visits the well will ever be the same again.

When the Queen (known as Queenie—she can’t bear starchiness) and her court jester, Chucklegorgon, are threatened by a famine, everything starts to go wrong. Hunted by horrors and unnerved by shape-shifting deceptions, the friends must face their own fears and find a way through shadows from the past. But they are so small and the darkness seems too big for them. How can they save the Kingdom? If you like the Chronicles of Narnia, you will love this world where loyalty and friendship are tested to the limit in a desperate battle against a hidden enemy.

Thornton Wilder is one of America's most important literary figures. He won the Pulitzer Prize three times - for his novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey and the plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth - and is the only person to be awarded the Pulitzer for both fiction and drama. Included here are four of his key works, set in different times and places, but sharing the same fundamental motifs - the universality of human experience and our search for life's meaning.
