She was a literary treasure, and her books will continue to delight for many years to come."Philip PullmanThe best kind of writer, strange and spooky and surprising, never sentimental or whimsical.Kelly Link"Gathered under one cover from several Aiken collections, the magical, eccentric and very British Armitage family reappears in a collection of 24 stories, four never before published. The Armitages wacky magic (usually a Monday occurrence) and that of their fantastical town, a place filled with witches and magical beings, rises from the pages when matters go slightly awry, in the manner of Edward Eager and E. Nesbit." Kirkus Reviews"Readers of all ages have the opportunity to enjoy some of the best writing by one of the most superb and timeless fantasy writers."Green Man Review"The Armitages world grows richer as it is extended. This is a collection of stories which allowin fact demandthe reader joins in with their own imagination and remakes the story inside their own head. Aikens pragmatism shows through in her stories. Instead of remaining in or reflecting upon the past like some of her contemporaries, they show an author making the best of the world and coming out ahead with humor and imagination.

An excellent way to show Harry Potter fans that magic can come in small doses too."Author MagazineThis is the first complete collection of Joan Aikens beloved Armitage storiesand it includes four new, unpublished stories.
