A Small Pinch of Weather (Faith & Fame S.) ReviewMy sister gave me a copy of this book when I was 11, and I read it over and over and over, reducing it to rags. Many years went by before I even saw another copy. In fact, my sister gave it to me just last week - and when I saw it, I almost cried. I was at work and couldn't read it then and there, but I did sneak peaks while I sat at red lights on the drive home......but enough about me; let me tell you about this amazing book.
The stories alternate between fairy-tales of a long-ago time and the modern-day adventures of a young brother and sister, Mark and Harriet Armitage. The similarities between the different types are simply that anything can happen and it surprises no one when it does. In the title story, the town's weather-witch changes the weather for the townsfolk who ask for it in advance; in "The Apple of Trouble" Harriet concocts magic potions in her bedroom (standard homework for her Domestic Science course). Mark gets a bicycle from his great-Uncle Gavin (under protest, because Mark already has a "perfectly good unicorn to ride"), and every last snippet of darkness is stolen from a kingdom by an evil serpent. All of the tales have hints of darkness and darts of glee. And the last one "The Serial Garden" is heartbreakingly bittersweet, with just enough humor to balance it. On the whole, the tales are sly and smirking, innocent and wide-eyed at once.
So that's why this, in my mind, isn't just a book, but more of a rare and delicious treasure. If you have a copy, take good care of it. If you buy a copy, don't spend a second regretting what it cost.
A Small Pinch of Weather (Faith & Fame S.) OverviewImagine ordering a sunny day from the local weather witch, asking an apple tree to answer the telephone and making a beautiful garden out of old cereal boxes. What would you do if you inherited a real hair loom, or found three ugly old ladies and a dragon on your doorstep' And would you need a bicycle if you had a unicorn to ride'Anything is magically possible in these twelve short stories by gifted story-teller Joan Aiken.
