Looking for 1950’s or 60’s fantasy young adult books about a magical silver smith in Massachusetts who can time travel and shape shift and enables a young boy to share his adventures. Author might be Lawson or Dawson. I have tried the Library of Congress listings of books without success. The books were available in the San Marino, CA public library into the 1970s or 1980s.
Additional story elements:
The silversmith was an adult during the American revolution. Story elements involve turning into various animals and birds, pirates and participation in the revolution

Mr. Wicker’s Window, by Carley Dawson. I was told there was a sequel, maybe even two or three? But I never found them.
Thank you. That is the one. After reading the description I am sure that series is what I was looking for.
Many thanks.
Yay! I just found the sequels online. A little pricey! But I absolutely loved the first one…I read and reread it as a kid, and loved the Lyn Ward illustrations. (I remembered the illustrator more than the author, since his pictures are so distinctive.)
