About the book
This title combines the books The Magic Bed-Knob and Bonfires and Broomsticks. In The Magic Bedknob, Carey, Charles and Paul find prim Miss Price injured after falling off her broomstick. For their silence, she bespells a bedknob to carry them where-ever and when-ever. In Bonfires and Broomsticks two years later, they bring necromancer Emelius Jones to visit. But his neighbors want to burn him at the stake for disappearing in the Great Fire of London. This was also made into the Disney film, "Bedknobs and Broomsticks."
