CHAPTER ONE THE HO-HO WIZARD One day when Peter and Mollie ran down to see Binky the pixie in their playroom, they found him reading a letter and groaning loudly. 'What's the matter, Binky?' said the children, in surprise. 'Oh, I've had a letter from my cousin, Gobo,' said Binky. 'Gobo says that my village is very unhappy because a wizard has come to live there, called Ho-Ho. He is a horrid fellow, and walks about saying, "Ho, ho!" all the time, catching the little pixies to help him in his magic, and putting all kinds of spells on any one that goes against him. I feel very unhappy.'

'Oh, Binky, we're so sorry!' said the children at once. 'Can't we help?' 'I don't think so,' said Binky sadly. 'But I would very much like to go off in the wishing-chair to my village, next time it grows wings, if you don't mind.' 'Of course!' said the children. Then Mollie cried out in delight, and pointed to the magic chair. 'Look! It's growing wings now! How lovely! It must have heard what we said.' 'We'll all go,' said Peter, feeling excited to think that yet another adventure had begun.

'Oh, no,' said Binky at once. 'I'd better go alone. This wizard is a horrid one. He might quite well catch you, as you are clever children, and then think how dreadful I would feel!' 'I don't care!' said Peter. 'We're coming!' He and Mollie went to the chair and sat firmly down in it. Binky went to it and sat down too, squeezing in between the two. 'You are such nice children!' he said happily. The chair creaked, and before it could fly off, the pixie cried out loudly, 'Go to the village of Apple-pie!'
