Now a desperately handsome man, he finds that all that attention can have its downside. Will Strega Nona arrive in time to save him from his folly.

It's another delightful adventure with Big Anthony and Strega Nona, as the witch's servant once again attempts to use her magic, only to find that he hasn't the skill or knowledge to do so properly. As someone who read and enjoyed Strega Nona countless times as a girl, but who never knew about the many sequels, I was happy to finally pick up Big Anthony and the Magic Ring, which is every bit as entertaining as its predecessor! I enjoyed both story and artwork here, and finished the book with a desire to continue on with the series about these characters. Recommended to anyone who loved Strega Nona, or who enjoys magical stories with a humorous bent.

1. Emily - 2 stars
I was really excited to buy the Mystical witch doll as I had heard great things about it. However, when I received the doll, I was disappointed. The quality of the doll was not great, and it looked cheaply made. Additionally, the sound effects were very irritating, and it didn't really do much. Overall, I felt like the product was overpriced for what it offered.
2. Mark - 1 star
I had high hopes for the Mystical witch doll, but it turned out to be a complete waste of money. The doll's limbs kept falling off, and the clothes were poorly stitched. Moreover, the advertised "interactive" features were very limited, and it quickly lost the interest of my child. I regret purchasing this product and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Mystical witch doll. My daughter was excited to receive it, but it didn't live up to our expectations. The doll's voice was too loud and annoying, and the phrases it said were repetitive. The doll's movement was also very limited, and it didn't provide any real play value. It ended up in the back of the toy box, never to be played with again.
4. Michael - 3 stars
While the design of the Mystical witch doll was intriguing, the execution fell short. The doll's clothing didn't fit properly, and the accessories were flimsy. It also lacked any real storytelling element, and my child quickly lost interest in playing with it. The doll had potential, but it needs improvements to justify its high price.
