The Jolly Witch
Illustrated by Frank Rodgers
Mrs Jolly, a very popular school caretaker, is, unbeknownst to the children and teachers, a witch by night! As retirement draws near, she sadly contemplates the future having never achieved her heart's desire of being the first to reach the finishing steeple of the Great Annual Witches Steeplechase for, alas, the broomstick she uses is the property of the Local Education Authority! It takes Dick King-Smith to come up with an ending that's just right!
