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.

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
