I would put it on a list with The Lord of the Rings, 1984, Plato’s Republic, John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government, and other writings that I think everyone should read at least once in their lives.
Longitude Review

Magic Kingdom for Sale – Sold! Review
Magic Kingdom for Sale – Sold! is a light, somewhat escapist fantasy novel that stands well on its own, builds from an intriguing premise, and presents an imaginative twist on some of the genre’s tropes.
