There are three stories in differing time frames. 'A Basket of Magic' takes place after the American Civil War. 'The Magic Garden' occurs in Scotland in the late 1300's. The Isle of Sully (England) is the scene of 'The Orange Tree' and takes place in 1207.

Jo Goodman's story was a charmer and I really enjoyed it. I really like stories related to the Civil War, even though magic was part of the theme.

Hannah Howell's Scottish story was a bit heavy on dialect but was an interesting story. Linda Madl's story about a contest to decide if oranges were an aphrodisiac was just OK.
