THE MAGIC ISLAND OF TIPPETI-TOO A fable in three parts that recounts the visits of seven year old David with his two pets, Tod the Tortoise and Bleep the Canary, to a magic island where he meets extraordinary and pleasure loving animals like a purple kangaroo, a crimson feathery mouse, a lavender blue crocodile that speaks only in rhymes, a wise and gentle dragon, not forgetting Nam, the only human on the island, nor the Lake Lady, who imbues David with wisdom, but a wisdom which lasts only while he is on Tippeti-too. Each year, on his birthday, David returns there and has other adventures, but on his last he has to outwit the dreaded Xemians that threaten to invade Tippeti-too, and save the magic island and its very special inhabitants from a terrible fate.
