When three curious children discover their prim and proper neighbor, Miss Price, nursing a broomstick-related injury, they stumble into a world of magic, mischief, and time-traveling adventure.
In exchange for their silence, she enchants a bedknob, allowing them to travel anywhere and anytime they wish. From the bustling streets of London in the past to encounters with a necromancer caught in the Great Fire, their journey is filled with humor, heart, and spellbinding surprises.
Originally published as The Magic Bedknob and Bonfires and Broomsticks, this enchanting tale inspired the beloved Disney film Bedknobs and Broomsticks. While the book differs from the film, it offers its own unique charm, whimsical storytelling, and a truly magical final chapter that leaves readers wishing for more.
Mary Norton (1903–1992) was a British author best known for her The Borrowers series, which introduced readers to the tiny, secretive world of the Borrowers living among humans. She began writing during World War II while working in New York, and her work has since become a beloved part of children’s literature. With Bedknob and Broomstick, she crafted another timeless classic filled with adventure, magic, and delightful storytelling.
If you love stories of enchanted journeys, clever children, and a touch of time-traveling fun, Bedknob and Broomstick is a must-read. Whether you grew up with the movie or are discovering this story for the first time, you’ll find its magic irresistible.
