Mr Majeika and Mr Majeika and the Lost Spell Book bind-up

English

By (author): Humphrey Carpenter

Two books in one for those avid readers where one Mr Majeika adventure is just not enough!

Mr Majeika: Mr Majeika can behave just like any ordinary teacher if he wants to, but something has to be done about Hamish Bigmore, the class nuisance, and so he uses a little magic to turn him into a frog - the only problem is he can't remember the spell to turn him back!

Mr Majeika and the Lost Spell Book: The pupils in Class 3 at St Barty's School are not impressed when their headteacher imposes strict rules of behaviour for Halloween. Mr Majeika uses a little magic to make the evening memorable but nasty Hamish Bigmore tells the local press and gets the wizard-teacher the sack -something has to be done . . .

Mr Majeika continues to be one of the UK's most loved and trusted fictional characters.

About Humphrey Carpenter

Humphrey Carpenter (1946-2005) the author and creator of Mr Majeika was born and educated in Oxford. He went to a school called the Dragon School where exciting things often happened and there were some very odd teachers - you could even call it magical! He worked for the BBC then became a full-time writer in 1975 and he was the author of many award-winning biographies including books about J. R. R. Tolkien C. S. Lewis Benjamin Britten and Spike Milligan. As well as the Mr Majeika titles his children's books also included Shakespeare Without the Boring Bits and More Shakespeare Without the Boring Bits. He wrote plays for radio and theatre and founded the children's drama group The Mushy Pea Theatre Company. He played the tuba double bass bass saxophone and keyboard. Humphrey once said 'The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks. Words are the only tricks you need. I can write: He floated up to the ceiling and a baby rabbit came out of his pocket grew wings and flew away. And you will believe that it really happened! That's magic isn't it?'
