The Secret of Platform 13

Fiction by Eva Ibbotson.

Although this is a children's book that features a railway platform at King's Cross Station in London that leads to a magical world... it's NOT related to the Harry Potter series of books. As far as I can tell, this author and J.K. Rowling came up with similar ideas independently. Or else there's actually something magical about King's Cross Station...

This is a super-fun fairy-tale story about a lost prince from a magical world, and it's not just for kids.

I enjoyed it a lot; it reminded me of The Princess Bride  or  Ella Enchanted a bit. Someone should make a movie!
