The Glass Harmonica: A Lexicon of the Fantastical af Barbara Ninde Byfield
"Here shines the mysterious light."
This is a cute story of a very weary cable car that climbs the hills of San Francisco, then is propelled around and a downward journey occurs. In this story, the cable car is 60 years old and his name is Charlie.
On a magical night, Charlie climbs Nob hill. And instead of taking his usual route, he heads to Chinese New Year by taking a right turn on Jackson Street.
He befriends the dragon who is the center of attention. Soon Chu and Charlie take a marvelous journey.
Delightful, filled with fun, this is a book most children (and adults) will enjoy.… (mere)

Byfield went on to write more books about this spy, but this one was the best of the lot.… (mere)
