The Rumblewick Letters: My Unwilling Witch

Book one of the Rumblewick Letters series

by

Hiawyn Oram
Illustrator: Sarah Warburton

The contract between a witch and her familiar (aka cat) is a serious business and Rumblewick Spellwacker Mortimer B has a mortifying problem.

 

Haggy Aggy refuses to cackle, ride broomsticks or frighten children; she's only interested in shopping, watching TV and playing princesses. With Haggy threatening to marry a handsome prince, a despairing Rumblewick writes to Uncle Sherbert, begging for helpful spells to transform her into a respectable witch with unexpected - but happy – results.

 

The idiosyncratic correspondence between Rumblewick and his Uncle carries the story, with tiny envelopes to open and flaps to lift. Visual jokes abound as Haggy's story unfolds in the accompanying illustrations. A wacky, funny story about a smart cat – and an infuriatingly loveable witch.
