Description: MAGIC MONEYby ANN NOLAN CLARKIllustrated by LEO POLITI Hardcover with unclipped dust jacket; 123 pages; Size Approx. 6 3/4 X 10.Published by The Viking Press; copyright 1950; First Edition.Details: "Tony had a 'wanting secret.' More than anything else, he wanted to earn money so that his beloved Grandpapa could have two strong white oxen. Then, once again, Grandpapa could drive in his beautifully painted ox-cart that had won two grand prizes in the famous cart parade at San Jose. It's hard to earn money when you're a small boy. Tony's family try to help, but is is Grandpapa who has the best idea of all -- Grandpapa who doesn't know what the secret is! And Tony and Grandpapa find that the greatest magic about money is not buying magic but a magic of the heart. This is a story full of family love and family fun, a story very close to small boys everywhere. That Tony lives in Costa Rica adds to the color and gaiety. Miss Clark spent several years in Costa Rica and has an intimate knowledge of the country and its people. And Mr. Politi, who has a special gift for interpreting Latin America, has made delightful pictures of Tony's home, the big coffee plantation, and the wonderful market in San Jose."
