Description

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.
"Full of danger, surprise, and glinting humor." -- The New York Times
"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." -- Chicago Tribune

"Has humor and originality in its inventions, conversations, and unexpected twists of plot... Convincing." -- The Horn Book
"Miss Price and the children (especially the matter-of-fact Paul) are charming enough to bewitch... without the aid of magic." -- Christian Science Monitor
