Hues of Magic by V E Schwab is a captivating and thrilling fantasy novel that explores the world of magic through vivid and unique storytelling. The book takes place in multiple parallel universes, each with its own version of London and its own level of magical power. The main character, Kell, is a powerful magician known as an Antari who has the rare ability to travel between these different worlds. However, he soon finds himself caught up in a dangerous adventure when he unknowingly smuggles a forbidden artifact from one universe to another. This sets off a chain of events that threatens to unravel the delicate balance of power between the different Londons. Kell must navigate treacherous politics, face deadly enemies, and unravel the mysteries of the artifact in order to save his world from destruction.

Until she dipped the kidnapped Freddy Flute into the vat of boiling oil and threatened to deep-fry him. It’s funny how the most innocuous thing can spark such a wild reaction, isn’t it? Freddy got dipped and he just exploded in tears. And from the cold light of adulthood, it’s so minor, just Billie Hayes dipping the inanimate Freddy prop into some water with some dry ice pellets or something in it, but credit Joan Gerber’s voice work for Freddy panicking and begging for help, I guess, because this kid just lost it completely, crying sadly for the poor flute.

This is a really funny episode for kids who like physical comedy, and between the sequence with the beauty salon chair going haywire and the lunatic Three Oranges act, he was roaring with laughter, and finally the witch was no longer an object of fear. Ascended Extra Stupid Bat was the least-used of all of Witchiepoo s henchmen, only appearing in the odd episode, but in The Movie he s a fairly major character throughout.

Kell must navigate treacherous politics, face deadly enemies, and unravel the mysteries of the artifact in order to save his world from destruction. The world-building in Hues of Magic is rich and detailed, with each London distinctly characterized by its level of magic and its society. Schwab's writing is atmospheric and immersive, drawing readers into the vibrant and dangerous world she has created.

HR Puff n Stuff

This classic series premiered on Australian television on September 6th, 1969. Created by Sid & Marty Croft, it continued throughout the 80’s & mesmerised an entire generation with its extraordinary “living cartoons.”

Puff, Jimmy & Freddy

This show captured the imagination of a generation with surreal stories, hypnotic colours, and a maddening mix of real life and master puppetry. This story of a boy, his magic flute, a witch, and the giant Puff n Stuff, the friendly Mayor of Living Island. Stories usually revolved around Witchiepoo (Billy Hayes) and her henchman hatching various plots against the young Jimmy (Jack Wild) in an effort to steal his Magical Flute Freddy (voice of Joan Gerber) as Puff n stuff and friends help foil her attempts.

It began with Jimmy, a young English boy (Jack Wild of Oliver fame), playing near the edge of a river with his magical talking gold flute, Freddie (or “Fweddie”, as Jimmy called him). Whilst at the edge of a river Jimmy climbs aboard a boat that becko ns to him.

The evil Witchiepoo

As it drifts out to sea an evil witch named “Witchiepoo” (seekin g Freddie to add to her collecti on of magical possessions), casts a spell and makes the boat turn into an evil boat which attacks Jimmy (who then jumps overboard to save himself).

Swimming to the shore of Living Island, Jimmy is rescued by its mayor, HR Puff n stuff and his Rescue Ranger crew (Kling and Klang) before Witchiepoo can get her hands on the boy or the magic flute. They befriend Jimmy, sheltering and protecting him from the kooky old witch. Everything on Living Island is alive. Books have faces, houses sneeze and trees can talk, not to mention the regular citizens who all look like an animal of some sort. Dr B linky is an Owl, Ludicrous a Lion and Judy Frog. And then there is the evil Witchiepoo (played by the great Billie Hayes).

She continually tries to satisfy her obsession for the talking flute with the aid of her goofy henchmen Orson, Seymore, Dumb and Stupid and her motorized broomstick, called the Vroom Broom. Each episode involves Jimmy attempting to escape from the island with the help of Puff n stuff and his friends, with flute intact of course.

This was another of my all time favourite shows. I used to rush home from school to watch even though Witchiepoo & her squealing voice absolutely terrified me! I knew the theme tune word for word & used to go round the house singing it. Whilst creating this website & finding the theme tune again, I hadn’t forgotten a word!

Jimmy (Jack Wild), a young boy with a British accent and a speech impediment, is abducted by the sinister and disturbingly Oedipal witch Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo (Billie Hayes) in a gambit to snatch his magical talking golden flute. Her plan involves tricking both boy and flute into riding inside a boat that at first looks lovely and inviting, then turns sinister and violent. Yes, really.

The magic system in the book is also intriguing, with different types of magic represented by different colors. Red magic is common and easy to access, while black magic is forbidden and dangerous. Lastly, the characters in Hues of Magic are complex and well-developed, with realistic motivations and flaws. Kell, in particular, is a compelling protagonist who is both capable and vulnerable, making him easy to root for. Overall, Hues of Magic is an enchanting and thrilling novel that will captivate fans of both magic and adventure..
