Beschreibung
The Magic Bed-Knob and Bonfires and Broomsticks in one volume. The classic exploits of the three Wilson children, the apprentice witch, and the flying bed. Prim, quiet, elegant Miss Price is a witch!Well, not quite, not yet. A witch-in-training, Miss Price hasn't got the hang of flying on broomsticks nor has she learned how to be properly wicked. And as for her spells-well . . . practice makes perfect. But she can't practice if the three Wilson children-Charles, Carey, and Paul-reveal her secret.In return for their silence, she enchants a brass bed-knob so that when the children twist the knob and wish, the bed will take them anywhere they want. But traveling by bed is a clumsy sort of magic. What the children want is adventure. What they get is trouble . . . trouble of the most breathtaking, fantastic, unforgettable kind."e;Full of danger, surprise, and glinting humor."e; -The New York Times"e;Mary Norton has an infallible instinct for blending imagination and humor, everyday characters and odd ones, the real and the fantastic in just the right proportions."e; -Chicago Tribune"e;Has humor and originality in its inventions, conversations, and unexpected twists of plot . . . Convincing."e; -The Horn Book"e;Miss Price and the children (especially the matter-of-fact Paul) are charming enough to bewitch . . . without the aid of magic."e; -Christian Science Monitor
