As another reviewer said a whole book of these is a bit much at once, but they're good rollicking stories about an otherwise dull pleasant English village where the Armitage family matter-of-factly deal with witches, ghosts, baby griffins that need raising, the demands of pet unicorns, and so on. They're in that unthreatening sweet spot where you have only the tiniest worry the magical problem won't get solved, and there will be something nice for tea.
