timothycapehart 's review for:
Bed-Knob and Broomstick
by Mary Norton
This is one of my favorite movies. It has been since I was a kid. I know am in the minority in thinking it better than Marry Poppins...but I do.
I had never, however, read the book (or books--it's two short books). What fun! It is, of course a TOTALLY different story than the movie (no Nazis or talking animals or soccer matches and Emelius Brown fake magician is actually Emelius Jones a 17th Century Necromancer)...but it is also fun to find bits and pieces of the movie in the story...like Miss Price mentioning "a bad case of Cosmic Creepers" which is the name of her scraggly black cat in the movie. I totally love this book.
