Maggie always looked forward to visiting her Uncle Nathanial. Not only did he always give the best birthday and Christmas presents ever, but even when it wasn’t your birthday or Christmas, even if - like today - it was just a normal weekend, Uncle Nathanial always managed to be a little bit nuts, and a little bit magical.

Maggie loved him coming to visit her house, of course, but the thing she looked forward to the most was when she was invited down to his cottage - in the countryside, out past Lomberstack Mountain.
