The Witch's Children and the Queen

by

Ursula Jones
Illustrator: Russell Ayto

The witch’s children – the Eldest, the Middle One and the Little One – have a reputation of which passengers on the number 16 bus are well aware; on their journey to see the Queen, the children live up to it!

 

The Queen, dressed in tweed and pearls, is horrified when her guardsmen are turned into jam tarts! But when things get out of hand, even the witch’s children know when it is time to own up and call on Mum for help.

 

Anarchy reigns in this story and mischief oozes from every page. Illustrated with Russell Ayto’s clever drawings, this book will appeal immensely to young readers.
