by Joan Aiken

This magical, quirky, very British Armitage family is gathered in a collection of 24 stories, four of which have never been published. Their strange magic (usually Monday) and their dreamy town full of witches and magical creature are standing up from the page like Edward Eager and E. Nesbit when something goes wrong. Aiken respects her readers and uses accurate and occasionally challenging words in her creative story; even a skilled reader may need a dictionary at hand at hand. Short episodes like families living there are not as common as usual, but by reading the story into groups of people and letting it to the children slowly, we can introduce the new generation of young people. Readers who are looking for magic chapters or readers of authors' novels should prefer these stories. (Short film.10-14)

The character of Mrs Armitage is based on Josie Armstrong married to the poet Conrad Aiken and married to Joanne's second author, Martin Armstrong, Joan's own mother. When Joanne was a childhood, Armstrong was known for the stories about pretty suburban families around 1940, their pet speaking, but the story of her own armitage began from his cheeks. Let's imitate him and become a passion for life. This special story, originally published in Jessie's life, gathered a series of fancy stories called "weather" and furthermore offered it to her mother, but in the following year Joan was telling a story It was a tragic end. I was in trouble. Perhaps she thinks this is unfair to the memory of her mother She certainly received a letter from many readers to protest her very shocking outcome.

This is the first complete series of Joan Aiken's most popular Armitage story. After Mrs. Armitage made a wish, the Armitage family made several interesting and unusual "experiences" every Monday (and sometimes on Tuesday). The spell committee tried to hand over their houses as a school for young wizards; Nemesis came; the chests of the cereal chest have connected to the beautiful and tragic palace gardens. An attractive and magical, exceptional life of the Armitage family excites and makes both old and young people happy.
