A beloved work of British children's fantasy, Bedknobs and Broomsticks brings together two of Mary Norton's classic novels — The Magic Bed Knob and Bonfires and Broomsticks — into a single enchanting volume. The story chronicles the adventures of three siblings, Carey, Charles, and Paul, who discover that their neighbor Miss Price is an apprentice witch, and strike a bargain with her to keep her secret in exchange for a magical spell cast upon a brass bed knob. With it, the children can travel anywhere in the world — and even through time — leading them on a wildly imaginative journey to a deserted island and, ultimately, into the dangers of medieval England. Norton writes with warmth, wit, and a delightful sense of the absurd, balancing comic charm with genuine suspense in a way that has captivated young readers for generations. A cornerstone of classic children's literature, the tale celebrates curiosity, courage, and the irresistible allure of magic hiding in the most ordinary of places.
