Titchy Witch and the Stray Dragon
Illustrated by Katharine McEwen
One of a series starring Titchy-witch and featuring family members Witchy-witch, Wendel and Weeny-witch, along with Cat-a-bougus, Victor (vulture) and spider, Eric. In this episode it is Cat-a-bogus who comes to the rescue with a timely touch of his own brand of magic when Titchy-witch's longed for pet dragon Dido threatens to outgrow his welcome. An enticing format and subject matter, enchantments and speech bubbles are just not enough to work the spell when the language lacks sparkle. It is McEwen's full colour illustrations with their touches of humour that provide any lingering images once the book has been put down.
