Cat's Witch and the Wizard
Illustrated by Doffy Weir
In this jolly tale Cat's Witch is being put out of business by the hi-tec wizard who's recently moved into town. With his computers, chemicals and lasers, he seems the perfect modern answer to the problems of the people of Wantwich. However, there are some complications, like Gobtrolls, which are not amenable to hi-tec solutions and Cat's Witch comes into her own with some genuine old-fashioned magic. The happy ending is the perfect compromise between the new magic and the old. Good fun, well-written, well-illustrated - this will be popular with younger juniors.
