Magic Kingdom (Terry Brooks)
The
Magic Kingdom series is a children's quintet by
Terry Brooks following the adventures of Ben Holiday, a trial lawyer who goes into a depression after the death of his wife and unborn child. He finds that he is no longer motivated by justice and feels that the
legal system is profoundly flawed; this leads him to respond to a fantastic advertisement for a "Magic Kingdom" which he purchases, suspecting some deception behind it; he is shocked to find that the kingdom is real and that is in a state of collapse.
