Publisher's Synopsis
The Phoenix and the Carpet follows the adventures of the same five children: Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and the Lamb. The children acquired the magic carpet when they found a special fire egg -- it hatched in their nursery fireplace. The phoenix came from the egg and when he saw their mother's new Persian rug, he showed them that it was a magical thing -- a flying carpet that would take them any time and that place they could wish for.
