Do your little ones love a book full of excitement, wonderment and with a little bit of a difference. ‘ The Befana Drama’ has just all that, it is the most unusual ‘witch book’ for Halloween 2013 which not only sprinkles witch dust of the most wonderous kind, but also throws in Christmassy magic for good measure.
The Befana is not just any old witch, but a witch who has been Italy’s present bringer for centuries, bringing coal or candy to naughty or good children. She is so famous; she even has her own festival, post box and pretend Befana house. In fact, life is just perfect for this witch...until she learns her festival is being ‘downsized’ and her popularity lower than Santa’s.
That is more than this particular witch can bear and so she flies into a rage that sends candy balls bouncing down the street. This starts a global adventure by broomstick, the complications are many. For a start, this witch was once engaged to Santa and still has a soft spot for him.
Added to that, she needs a disguise, so has to rejuvenate herself with the assistance of Old Father Time and become a much cooler witch called 'Bef' and not The Befana.
Will she actually remember or be able to cast any of the spells in her Grandissimo Libro di Scongiuri?
This intriguing story is definitely one the kids will love this Halloween, and even better it is also the perfect stocking filler this Christmas.
