This story of two girls trying to banish a witch is “full of wonderful fun, excitement, and humor” (Library Journal). Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly around on her broomstick, crying “Heh-heh!” and casting abracadabras. But now she has been sent away . . . by two young girls. Amy and Clarissa have decided that Old Witch is just too mean and wicked. So, drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, they exile Old Witch there with a warning: She better be good, or else no Halloween! But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . . Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book). “A classic for Halloween.” —Library JournalMostra libro

Austin knew the stories of magical creatures as well as anyone. 'Knockers' were grubby trolls that stand about two feet high, they wear old miners boots and tatty waistcoats and live on the pasty crusts that miners leave behind. The 'Pixies' were very different, small and could fit in a mans hand, always busy, thinking themselves better than anyone and enjoyed playing pranks on anyone around. 'No', thought Austin there can't be magical creatures, it was all just tittle tattle... But Austin was about to become a hero and change his mind on many things...Mostra libro

Семь братьев - это почти как в сказке. Самый младший часто оказывается самым умным и удачливым. Барт Муйарт (род. в 1964 году), когда вырос, стал одним из самых известных и издаваемых фламандских писателей. Чаще всего его книги издатели адресуют детям и подросткам, но сам автор считает, что пишет без оглядки на возраст - для всех. "Братья" - одна из таких книг. Каждый день детства под пером автора превращается в сокровище - будь то постройка дома из песка, или визит настоящего короля, или поездка всемером на заднем сиденье автомобиля, или рождественское утро.Mostra libro
