«The Magic Carpet Slippers» is a children's fantasy novel by Dick King-Smith, published by Puffin in paperback (96 pages, in English).
Percy Sloggett, aged 75, takes his slippers everywhere, even to the garden and the shops. When the old ones wear out, he discovers the new ones are magical: they make him feel younger, stronger and smarter. He shares the secret with Lollie, his friend's granddaughter, because children understand magic better than adults. The slippers turn out to be lifesavers.
