I am looking for a book I read that involved a Child who met a few different wizards who teach the child something. I remember one took him to the Faerie realm and he was taken through a Market where a vendor accused him of stealing an item but was found out the vendor was lying so the boy was able to pick something out of the vendors items and the child picked an egg that turned out to contain a universe inside that he traded with I believe to be the queen of the faeries because he ate something while there.
Answer
Almost certainly the Books of Magic comic series by Neil Gaiman.
a Child who met a few different wizards who teach the child something.
The hero, Tim Hunter, meets a different magical DC character in each of the four episodes: The Phantom Stranger, John Constantine, Dr Occult and Mr E. They introduce him to the world of magic.
The plot elements come from Book III: The Land of Summer's Twilight.
I remember one took him to the Faerie realm and he was taken through a Market where a vendor accused him of stealing an item but was found out the vendor was lying so the boy was able to pick something out of the vendors items and the child picked an egg
Dr Occult takes Tim to Faerie and an imp tries to plant a bracelet on him. When the imp is found out, the market warden lets Tim and his two companions each choose an item from the imp's barrow. Tim chooses an egg.
that turned out to contain a universe inside that he traded with I believe to be the queen of the faeries because he ate something while there.
Almost. Tim accidentally accepts a gift from the Faerie Queen. He can't leave Faerie until he gives her a gift of equal value. Fortunately the egg turns out to be an egg that will one day hatch a world, which is equivalent to the gift from the Queen and gets him out of Faerie.
