I am actually pretty upset that this, volume four in the series, is the last. I want more Blossom! Alas... her time travel into ancient Egypt is the end of it. I should instead be grateful that these books existed in the first place, and that I managed to stumble across them (albeit three decades after I should have). They're wonderful. Consistently entertaining, and Blossom herself is the sort of narrator who, in a different fantasy world, would grow up to be Granny Weatherwax. It's no real surprise that she took over as protagonist from Alexander, who was the narrator of the first book. He was pretty clearly overwhelmed by his more entertaining sidekick, and the result is a joy to read.
I'll be poking around secondhand book shops until I find my own copies of these - actually, no! It looks like they're still in print. Either way, I want them.
