User reviews

LibraryThing member ASBiskey
This is the story of three children, a witch, and a magical travelling bed. It is rather mundane and only vaguely related to the movie. I read this in the omnibus Bed-Knob and Broomstick. This is much more recognizable to the movie than the second novella, Bonfires and Broomsticks.

Local notes

Carey, Charles and Paul knew that Miss Price had hurt her ankle falling off a broomstick, so to persuade them to keep her secret she cast a spell on Paul's bedknob. One twist takes them wherever they want, even the past.
