Bed-Knob and Broomstick by Mary Norton
Prim, quiet, elegant Miss Price is a witchWell, not quite. A witch-in-training, Miss Price hasn't got the hang of flying on brooms nor has she learned to be properly wicked. And her spells -- well . practice makes perfect. Yet she can't practice if Charles, Carey, and Paul reveal her secret.
To win their silence she enchants a bed-knob so that the children's bed will take them anywhere they want.
But traveling by bed is a clumsy sort of magic. The children want adventure, but what they get is trouble . trouble of the most breathtaking, fantastic, unforgettable kind.
MARY NORTON (1903-1992) lived in England, where she was an actress, playwright, and award-winning author. As a child she created a make-believe world in which tiny people inhabited the hedgerows, living their lives out of the sight of humans. It's from this private fantasy that her most well-known books, those about the Borrowers, came about.
