'''''Magic Tree House''''' is an American [[Children's literature|children's]] series written by American author [[Mary Pope Osborne]]. The original American series was illustrated by [[Salvatore Murdocca]] until 2016, after which AG Ford took over {{Cn|date=November 2022|reason=No evidence given for claim that this person was involved in illustration, and nor does any credit appear on illustrator's Wikipedia page for the supposed work.}}. Other illustrators have been used for foreign-language editions.

The series is divided into two groups. The first group consists of Books 1–28, in which [[Morgan Le Fay]] sends Jack and Annie Smith, siblings from the fictional small town of Frog Creek, [[Pennsylvania]], on adventures and missions through a magical tree house. The second group, called ''Magic Tree House: Merlin Missions'', begins with Book 29, ''Christmas in Camelot,'' and has ancient wizard [[Merlin the Magician]] giving Jack and Annie quests. These books are longer than others, and some take place in fantasy realms such as [[Camelot]]. Kathleen and Teddy are apprentices who befriend Jack and Annie and provide support, occasionally joining them on adventures. In ''Super Edition #1'', Teddy sends them on a mission instead of Morgan or Merlin. The companion ''Magic Tree House Fact Trackers'' are co-written by Mary Pope Osborne with her husband Will Osborne or sister Natalie Pope Boyce.

== Series background ==
After graduating from college, Mrs. Osborne and a friend went traveling.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=EBSCOhost Login |url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lkh&AN=103331LM58509790305660&site=lrc-plus |access-date=2024-02-06 |website=search.ebscohost.com}}</ref> Mrs. Osborne spent time in Crete and traveled through [[Iraq]], [[Iran]], [[India]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Turkey]], [[Lebanon]], [[Syria]], and [[Pakistan]].<ref name="CAO">"Mary Pope Osborne." Contemporary Authors Online, Gale, 2006. Accessed 15 Mar. 2018.</ref> The trip ended when Mrs. Osborne experienced blood poisoning in Nepal and was hospitalized for several weeks, during which she read ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.<ref name=":0" /> Remarking on her travels, Mrs. Osborne said, "That journey irrevocably changed me. The experience gathered serves as a reference point every day of my life. I encountered worlds of light and worlds of darkness — and planted seeds of the imagination that led directly to my being an author of children's books."<ref name="CAO" />

Mrs. Osborne's travels and experiences have largely factored into her writing, which has allowed her to experience the thrills of traveling. She has stated that, "Without even leaving my home, I’ve traveled around the globe, learning about the religions of the world."<ref name="Random House PDF">{{cite web|url=http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/pdf/AuthorBioMPOsborne.pdf|title=Random House Children's Books Presents Mary Pope Osborne|website=Random House Children's Book|publisher=Random House|access-date=16 March 2018}}</ref>

Mrs. Osborne's writing career began "one day, out of the blue"<ref name="Random House PDF" /> when she wrote ''Run, Run As Fast As You Can'' in 1982, which she has said is semi-autobiographical, as she stated: "The girl was a lot like me and many of the incidents in the story were similar to happenings in my childhood."<ref name="Random House PDF" /> The book served as the starting point for Mrs. Osborne's writing career; her early work received mixed reviews.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Cooper|first1=Ilene|date=1 Oct 1996|title=Love Always, Blue|journal=Booklist|page=750}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Sutherland|first1=Zena|date=Jan 1984|title=review of Love Always, Blue|journal=Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books|page=94}}</ref> Her work includes young adult novels, picture books, retellings of mythology and fairy tales, biographies, mysteries, a six-part series of the Odyssey, a book of American Tall Tales, and a book for young readers about major world religions.

The idea for the series came when [[Penguin Random House]] asked Mrs. Osborne to start writing a series of children's books.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last1=February 21 |first1=Madeline Raynor |last2=EST |first2=2017 at 11:18 AM |title='Magic Tree House' Author Mary Pope Osborne on the Books' 25th Anniversary |url=https://ew.com/books/2017/02/21/magic-tree-house-25th-anniversary/ |access-date=2022-03-01 |website=EW.com |language=en}}</ref> Mrs. Osborne knew from the beginning that she wanted to include time travel,<ref name=":1" /> and the idea for the treehouse as the means of time travel came to her when she and her husband saw one while on a walk in the forest in Pennsylvania.<ref name=":1" />

Mrs. Osborne says that she can work on ''Magic Tree House'' up to 12 hours a day and seven days a week<ref name=" NYT2008">{{cite news|title=Taking Young Readers on a Magical History Tour|last1=La Gorge|first1=Tammy|date=13 April 2008|newspaper=New York Times|page=CT6}}</ref> and has used space at shared office space, The Writer's Room.<ref>{{cite news|title=For Writers, a Place to Work in Peace: The Room in the Village offers a haven from disturbance.
