CHAPTER ONE OFF TO FIND THE TOYS Peter and Mollie got to the playroom door just as Binky was flying out in the wishing-chair. Binky pulled them up with him. Then the chair flapped its green and yellow wings and flew strongly up into the air. 'Where are we going?' asked Mollie.

'I don't know,' said Binky. 'I just said to the chair, "Go and find Rosebud, and the rest of the lost toys," and it seemed to know the place I meant, because it rose up at once. I've no idea where we shall land. I only hope it's somewhere nice. It would be awful to go to the Village of Slipperies, or to the Land of Rubbish, or somewhere like that.' 'Oh dear- I hope it's somewhere nice, too,' said Mollie. 'The chair is flying very high, isn't it?' 'Do you think it may be going to Toyland?' asked Peter. 'I wouldn't mind that at all. I think it's very likely the toys may have gone there.' 'It certainly seems to be taking the way to Toyland as far as I remember,' said Binky, peering down. 'I know we pass over the

Village of Teddy Bears before we reach Toyland, and we're very near that now. 'There's Toyland, far over there. That must be where we're going.'

But it wasn't. The chair suddenly began to fly down and down at a great rate, and it was plain that it was going to land. 'Well! This isn't Toyland!' said Binky in surprise. 'Good gracious! I do believe it's the school run by Mister Grim, for Bad Brownies. Surely the toys haven't gone there!' The chair landed in the grounds of a big house, just near a wall. Binky and the children got off. They pushed the chair under a bush to hide it. Then they looked cautiously round.
