The story follows 3 American kids who find a golden egg in their grandfather's cottage in England. When the egg falls into a bonfire, a Phoenix emerges and takes the children on a magic carpet to a fantastical land.

Stuck in their late Grandfather's (Sir Peter Ustinov's) country cottage with no television, Anthea (Laura Kamrath), Robert (Nick Klein), and Chris (Timothy Hegeman) are resigned to a boring week until they find a moldy old carpet and a strange golden egg. But when the egg accidentally falls into the bonfire, it hatches into the mythical firebird, the Golden Phoenix. So begins an amazing journey and the adventure of a lifetime, as the Phoenix takes them to a land of enchantment, magic, and fantasy, via a magic flying carpet.—L.H. Wong <[email protected]>
