The Magic Plant first appeared in "The Pogles" when Mr Pogle was sent by his wife to fetch some beans to plant in the garden.
Plant told stories in "Pogles Wood" and did many a magic feat.
His day normally started with a jug of Bilberry wine which Mr and Mrs Pogle first gave him in an attempt to revive him when he came very close to death.
Plant was very wise and educated. In addition to magic he could also play a number of musical instruments but notably the violin.
