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.
