The witch and her cat couldn't be happier, flying through the sky on their broomstick—until the wind blows away first the witch's hat, then her bow, then her wand! Luckily, three helpful animals find the missing items and all they want in return is a ride on the broomstick. But is there room on the broom for so many new friends? And when disaster strikes, will they be able to save the witch from the clutches of a hungry dragon? Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler – the acclaimed creators of The Gruffalo|1013383] – return with this enchanting story of quick wits and friendship that is full of humor and adventure—and just the right amount of spookiness.

The second in a series, this volume traces the history of the federal University of Wales from its foundation in 1893 to the eve of World War II and places it in the broad background of higher education in Britain. The main strands of academic advance are considered along with the architecture of the principal buildings of the University. There are chapters on student life and the impact of the Great War. Since the University and its colleges were largely the product of a national movement the last two chapters of the book are devoted to the relationship between university and nation and to the nature of Welsh society during a period of cultural awakening which, argues the author, owed much to the University of Wales.
