Though originally intended as a work of juvenile fiction that was marketed to younger audiences, Algernon Blackwood's The Extra Day will enchant readers of all ages. The author has a preternatural gift for conveying the innocence and wide-eyed wonder with which children encounter the world around them, and the fable-like quality of the tale makes for an entertaining, engaging read.
