Книга "Black Maria" автора Diana Wynn Jones рассказывает историю о семейной поездке маленькой девочки Миг и ее сестры Санни в гости к ее очень милой тетушке Марии.
С первого взгляда, Мария кажется доброй старушкой, но стоит ей разозлиться, и все вокруг начинают дрожать от страха. Во время поездки Миг вынуждена скрываться в кладовке, чтобы избежать гнева тетушки.
Когда все начинают задумываться над тем, чтобы уехать домой, Миг все сильнее убеждается, что ее тетушка ведьма. Однако никто не верит ей.
Книга показывает, как легко за маской доброты могут скрываться настоящие темные силы.

Black Maria by Diana Wynn Jones. Aunt Maria is a colorful inspiring character and one of Wizardland's bestselling authors. Set in 1930s Ireland Aunt Maria tells the story of a family estranged from their aunt after the aunts house catches on fire. They are unsure they can stay at their uncle Pat's house as he has become a quiet person and moves always busily about getting ordinarily occupied by his knitting and garden. When moving there is not an option Uncle Pat's sympathetic offer is to put the family up at his aunt Maria's Grade II listed home located deep in the wilderness where only one streetlight functions and the electricity shuts off three times a week. Despite the mail not arriving and the houses on the street being empty the farm behind Aunt Maria's manor appears well stocked suggesting the house and farms inhabitants are in serious need for assistance.

Описание книги от Diana Wynne Jones
On the surface, Aunt Maria seems like a cuddly old lady, all chit-chat and lace doilies and unadulterated NICEness!When Mig and her family go for a short visit, they soon learn that Aunt Maria rules the place with a rod of sweetness that’s tougher than iron and deadlier than poison. Life revolves around tea parties, while the men are all grey-suited zombies who fade into the background, and the other children seem like clones.The short visit becomes a long stay, and when all talk of going home ceases, Mig despairs! Things go from bad to worse when Mig’s brother Chris tries to rebel, but is changed into a wolf .Mig is convinced that Aunt Maria must be a witch – but who will believe her? It’s up to Mig to figure out what’s going on. Maybe the ghost who haunts the downstairs bedroom holds the key?
