The Little Witch

Once upon a time there was a little witch who was only a hundred and twenty-seven years old. And so begins the delightful story of the little Witch and her talking raven Abraxas. It's Walpurgis Night, when all the witches of the land meet to dance on the Brocken mountain, but the little Witch isn't invited as the other witches say she is still too small. The little Witch, however, decides to go anyway and is caught by the wicked Rumpumpel. As punishment, her broomstick is burned and she must walk the three-day journey back home on foot. She also promises the Head Witch to be good for a year, until the next council of witches. But Rumpumpel must get her comeuppance! While planning her sweet revenge, the little Witch unexpectedly finds herself helping three old ladies, a flower seller, a lost boy and girl, the animals of the forest, and a young woman with a wastrel for a husband. What is the Book of Witchcraft really teaching her?
