Baseball is magic in the world of W. P. Kinsella. Magic Time is the story of Mike Houle, a college all-star whose career is on the skids until his agent offers him a second chance in the Iowa Cornbelt League. Things turn around for Mike in the green fields of Grand Mound, Iowa—only there seems to be more to this odd little town and its extraordinary baseball team than meets the eye. The mystery begins when Mike suspects that when the good citizens of Grand Mound lure young men into their small town, it’s not just baseball on their minds . . . Magic Time is vintage Kinsella. It is a novel of hope and promise and baseball that becomes humorous, enchanting fiction. Kinsella has also written about a dozen other novels and collections of short stories on two subjects: baseball and Indian life. W. P. (Bill) Kinsella is famous for his classic baseball novels and perennial sellers The Iowa Baseball Confederacy and Shoeless Joe, which became the film Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner.
