This review is from: The Witches of Bailiwick (Adventures of Beatrice Bailey) (Paperback)
This is the fifth and final book in a series about a young witch, Beatrice Bailey, who risks great danger to break some spells put on some of her family. Two hundred years ago an evil sorcerer, Dally Rumpe, took captive Bromwich Bailiwick and his four daughters. Dally Rumpe placed them all under spells. Through the first four books, "The Everyday Witch," "The Witches of Friar's Lantern," "The Witches of Sea-Dragon Bay," and "The Witches of Winged-Horse Mountain" Beatrice and her friends were able to break the spells on each of the four daughters. "The Witches of Bailiwick" is the final conclusion. Here Beatrice and her friends storm the castle to try and save Bromwich Bailiwick. The fifth book does follow the basic formula of Beatrice living in our world, meeting with the Witch's Executive Committee, going to the Witch's Sphere, and having some great adventures. Sandra Forrester does a good job of painting an interesting world of magic and fantasy. If you enjoyed the first four books, you'll enjoy this one. If you haven't read the first four, you should start with "The Everyday Witch" before reading this book.
