From the back cover: The ten-year twins are delighted when a scruffy brown pony appears
almost on their doorstep in the summer holiday. Reuben, a bit of a
dare-devil, or stupid as his sister Esme says, decides to ride Mr Nibbs.
That was it! The twin’s lives change forever. It turns
out that Mr Nibbs is a special agent sent to recruit them into a world
of different realities.
Old Woman, who is also Young Man, and an Earth
Guardian, has noted the children have the qualities needed to join the
elite corps of young spiritual warriors training to protect the Earth
from further human harm. The mythical flying horse Pegasus is called in
to assist with their training.
Through their adventures with Pegasus they meet all
sorts of beings. Eventually some friends are brought in for support,
including the girl, Rose, Esme’s strange friend. Esme’s dream animals
walk with her in the dense three dimensional world of ordinary human
reality.
There is one big problem. Once recruited, the children
come to the attention of the Magnificent Master of Malicious Magic.
This unhappy Being feeds off fear and wants the world to remain full of
chaos. He doesn’t want the children to succeed. They will need
protecting!
