A chase The cover of the book shows a nice little girl and her kitty, and a cute title -you think you know what you're getting.

A little different then the movie version but that's fine with me. Though the only down side is that it's a quick read but still . I hope no one is expecting to read the book hoping to get more than the movie. It's a nice book, though.

It turns out that The Little Broomstick is not all that easy to find, bu. Mary Stewart is a mistress of descriptive writing, as much in The Little Broomstick as in her novels for adults, but this is not perhaps a strength: the child reader will likely not want to savour the lengthy, intimate description of Great-Aunt Charlotte’s gardener, or even the garden he inhabits, with its sad, beautiful smell of autumn (13). Miserable and lonely, she befriends strange black cat Tib who leads her deep into the forest to an ordinary looking broomstick.
