The Magic Coin

The Magic Coin, Volume 1, is a charming piece of juvenile fiction set in a vibrant village beneath the sea. The story begins when the sneaky Al Caponefish steals a quarter from a local shop. To avoid getting caught, he convinces Gentleman Johnny, a sea turtle, that the coin is a magical object worth far more than its face value.

This modern fable follows the coin as it is passed from one sea creature to another through a series of clever tricks. The cycle continues until a kind Goldfish finds the coin and inadvertently returns it to its rightful home. Daan Remmerts de Vries delivers a whimsical tale of honesty and greed, brought to life with colorful mixed-media risograph illustrations.
