Wilma's Wicked Revenge
Illustrated by Tony Blundell
Frostia and Scarlettine have always made their younger sister Wilma's life a misery. After helping to spoil her twelfth birthday party, Wilma decides to get her revenge on them. How she manages this is told in an amusing story that features many well know fairy tale characters. Told in vintage Umansky style, the book is strengthened by the main character appreciating and caring for people other than herself from time to time. Blundell's illustrations add to the general humour of the story.
