Kiki's Delivery Service

Puffin Clothbound Classics are stunning collectable hardback editions of some of the best-loved classics in the world - including this charming edition of Kiki's Delivery Service, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2025. 
 
'Everyone has some type of magic inside them. . .' 
 
On her thirteenth birthday Kiki must decide whether she's going to leave home with her cat Jiji in tow and move to a town without another witch. She knows she has to use her magic to make a living, but Kiki's no good at potions or spells... 
 
Can Kiki learn to control her magic and make her own way in the world?

Kiki and the New Magic

Join Kiki, the beloved young witch, and her clever cat Jiji in the enchanting sequel to the modern classic! 
 
This new translation will reveal more to the story that inspired the Hiyao Miyazaki film, Kiki's Delivery Service. 
 
It has been a year since Kiki started her new life as an honest-to-goodness witch, and the - not quite so - little courier has become a real celebrity. 
 
But fame comes with its own set of challenges. As Kiki faces increasingly perilous tasks, her friendships with Jiji and Tombo are put to the test. Doubts creep in, leading her to question her purpose. 
 
Determined to overcome her fears, Kiki must summon all her courage and perhaps even explore a new kind of magic. Will she find the strength to navigate her evolving world? 
 
Kiki and the New Magic is a captivating tale of bravery, friendship, and self-discovery. Perfect for fans of the Studio Ghibli film and anyone who loves a magical adventure.

The magic I can use isn’t so extraordinary. All I can do is fly through the sky on a broom. 
 
It’s been a year since Kiki and her clever cat Jiji started up their flying delivery service in the town of Koriko. In that time the little witch has become famous. But fame comes with its own challenges and, when a delivery goes wrong, Kiki loses her confidence. 
 
Determined to overcome her fears, Kiki must summon all her courage, listen closely to those who love her, and perhaps even embrace a new kind of magic. 
 
Kiki and the New Magic is the enchanting sequel to Kiki’s Delivery Service – the Japanese classic that inspired the Studio Ghibli film. Beautifully translated by Emily Balistrieri and brought to life with exquisite illustrations by Joe Todd-Stanton.
