One of my favourites

Eva Ibbotson creates characters who are engaging and believable despite being witches, wizards and ghouls! One of my favourite stories, love listening to it whilst doing other boring things like tidying up!

Every bit as good as I remember

This book was every bit as enjoyable as the first time I read it - to myself, as a child. A real trip down memory lane! Prunella Scales totally did it justice. A real nostalgic treat!

The right side of spooky

I downloaded this book for Halloween listening for my 6 and 4 yr old boys - crossing my fingers that it wouldn't be too "girly" (as it's essentially about the search for love) or too scarey.



In fact this book is fantastic. Yes it does have lots of atmospheric descriptions of devilish mazes, hedges dripping blood and unpleasant familiars, but it's done in such a matter-of-fact way to seem normal for those characters. No nightmares from either of my boys. Even when some of the spells go wrong, they were gripped rather than scared.

Very funny.

I had this read to me at boarding school when i was about 11 and remember really enjoying it. This was a nice fun read to help keep me focused during my work day. It is a book i really enjoyed. It was narrated really well.

My favourite children's read!

So happy to have this chance to come back to this amiably quirky book I fell in love with when I was eleven. Great performance, thanks.
