Tim and Tobias ~ Magic in the Wind
I remember reading a book when I was in Infant/Junior School but all I could recall were certain elements: a boy living by a canal with his uncle or aunt, a key that was a black cat, a mountain, and a kitten being thrown in the canal.
I searched and I searched and I found a forum with someone looking for the same thing as me, but they were told that it was perhaps “Magic Mountain”.
Somehow though, I managed to find the book and so I place this information in the google archives just in case someone else is searching for it
The author was Sheila K. McCullagh and the first book was called *Tim and Tobias ~ Magic in the Wind*. I also discovered a website called “Tim and the Hidden People” (which is where I probably found this missing book) and can be found at “www.timandthehiddenpeople.moonfruit.com”:http://www.timandthehiddenpeople.moonfruit.com/

Thanks for this. Was searching myself but not having much luck as I’d got the name of the books wrong. Must be about 20 years since I read them.

Please can anyone help. I have been looking for these books and can get the first one Magic in the wind but am unable to find the rest. I know there are thousands of people out there also trying to find the books. Is there any way someone could put them on a web page so I could print them off. I would be willing to pay a fee.

I believe that the books are still available to buy on amazon.co.uk although some of them might be second hand.

I have been in touch with the publisher ( a relative of Sheila McCullagh,) and they are currently out of reprint. The 2004 issues were a trial to see if a publisher would be interested in re printing. However the Tim books were picked up. I have a FAcebook group and am trying to get as many people on there as possible so publishers can see they are very much in demand. It’s ” Bring back Tim and Tobias by Sheila K McCullagh”
Please join and help us get those great books back in print!
