Stella is ugly, flies a broomstick and can wield a magic wand. In these respects she is just like the other witch girls in Wartville. But, unlike the other witch girls, Stella does not enjoy turning toads into slime or setting the elves’ forest home on fire. She would rather help a bear cub escape from its cage than cook it in a stew. It’s only a matter of time before she finds herself in serious trouble.Stella’s fate is linked with the fate of two human children, Mitchell and Sarah, who don’t even believe in witches. That is, they didn’t believe in witches until they found themselves whisked out of their own world and into a completely different one, into the land of Wystovia.Mitchell and Sarah soon find themselves running from an evil wizard who thinks nothing of enslaving dwarves in the mountain mines, turning giants to stone, and terrorising innocent merchildren that his eagles catch frolicking in the sea. Mitchell and Sarah will need a lot of luck and the help of friends to survive.

Out in the Park one day, children, I met a little boy not bigger than you are, who told me that he liked stories about a boy and a dog and the things they did together. He said that it must be a real boy and a real dog, and there must be other animals in the story, not great, big, fierce ones, but just neighborly ones-animals a boy might, perhaps, meet when he went for walks in the woods-and take pictures of and get to know. So this is the story of the way a real boy and a real dog spent their first summer in the real country; and the fun they had together.

"A recipe for happiness: four women, one medieval Italian castle, plenty of wisteria, and solitude as needed. The women at the center of The Enchanted April are alike only in their dissatisfaction with their everyday lives. They find each other-and the castle of their dreams-through a classified ad in a London newspaper one rainy February afternoon. The ladies expect a pleasant holiday, but they don't anticipate that the month they spend in Portofino will reintroduce them to their true natures and reacquaint them with joy. Now, if the same transformation can be worked on their husbands and lovers, the enchantment will be complete."
