Anthony grew up in the loveliest place in the world - his father called it the Eye of the Earth. But to Anthony, the 'eye of the earth' was the old mill-pond near his home - a place of mystery and enchantment.
Anthony's childhood was full of happy moments, and sometimes strange ones, for he had been touched with magic as soon as he was born.
